Maybe your Web site includes maps, visit counters, affiliate programs that run scripts on your page, gadgets, or scripts from other sites. What happens if one of those elements tries running malicious code, redirecting users, installing rogue ActiveX controls or even reading users information? IFrames might help, but do they really protect the user or their machine?
The Web Sandbox addresses this problem through virtualization. We provide an opportunity to test the Sandbox and find out whether it prevents the attacks you’re concerned about. It's designed to improve the security, isolation and quality of service for your site and your users. It gives you a set of samples and lets you try to break them. As more people use the Sandbox, the better it will become as they discover scenarios and exploits that we hadn't gotten to yet. It's a truly collaborative environment that we expect will eventually lead to a robust and long-term solution to these problems. The goal is to get to an open and interoperable standard in this space. Try it.
