Sandboxes are an important piece of any company’s tech stack, even those companies that aren’t involved in software development. Companies that use SaaS applications, for example, use a sandbox environment to customize an application to meet the needs of users.

With new SaaS applications, app owners and administrators take the out-of-the-box app and create layouts, rename fields and develop workflows that will best suit existing processes.

The solution for protecting the data and structure of the sandbox is actually rather simple: Secure the sandbox environment the same way you secure your production system SaaS applications.

Sandbox security settings are frequently left unchanged, making the data vulnerable to threats that were minimized in the production environment.
