CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 230

Isolating email attachments in a safe place until the attachments can be scanned for malware is defined as:

Answer options

• A. an approve listing.
• B. a screened subnet.
• C. cross-platform virtualization.
• D. sandboxing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as sandboxing refers to running untrusted code in a controlled environment to prevent potential harm. The other options do not specifically relate to isolating attachments for security; for example, an approved listing is about allowing specific entities, while a screened subnet involves network architecture.
