Exam CCSP topic 1 question 348 discussion

Actual exam question from ISC's CCSP
Question #: 348
Topic #: 1
[All CCSP Questions]

What is the concept of isolating an application from the underlying operating system for testing purposes?

  • A. Abstracting
  • B. Application virtualization
  • C. Hosting
  • D. Sandboxing
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Application virtualization is a software implementation that allows applications and programs to run in an isolated environment rather than directly interacting with the operating system. Sandboxing refers to segregating information or processes for security or testing purposes, but it's not directly related to isolation from the underlying operating system. Abstracting sounds similar to the correct term but is not pertinent to the question, and hosting is provided as an erroneous answer.

Application virtualization is isolating an application from the underlying operating system. PERIOD. The added bit about testing is like saying legs are for walking. no they are also for jumping and squatting and kicking and... badly formed question/answer.

It is D - Sandboxing is a security practice in which you use an isolated environment, or a “sandbox,” for testing.

Sandboxing refers to the practice of creating a controlled and isolated environment for an application to run independently of the underlying operating system. In a sandboxed environment, the application's access to system resources and interactions with other software components are restricted and closely monitored

The question and answer given are apt. Page 204 (CCSP for Dummies) tie all the parts together.

I don’t agree with this. It gives the impression app virtualisation is only for testing. It isn’t

Answer is correct but indeed be mindful that application virtualization allows applications to run in environments that do not suit the native application. For example, Wine allows some Microsoft Windows applications to run on Linux.
