For attorneys attending meetings with developers, they may hear the term “sandbox”. What is a sandbox? ``Sandbox'' is a security term, and may mean a variety of things.
A sandbox may be a process placed inside a set of virtual walls that are designed to prevent someone who breaks into the process from being able to break into the wider system that is being developed. The process is said to be able to ``play'' inside the virtual walls. For instance, when developing a marketplace, the engineers may want to conduct test transactions on how the shopping cart system works for buys and sells.

A sandbox may also be a simulated environment of the system being built. Someone who is able to breaks into the process would only break into a simulation of that system
