By isolating app components from one another, you can create a more stable and secure application. When you employ isolation techniques, you're essentially segmenting the app components from one another. They're still able to communicate with one another, so the app can do what it was designed to do. You're just adding an additional layer of security around each component to reduce the risk of breakage or compromise. A few of the more common isolation techniques are sandboxing, virtualization, and containerization. When you sandbox an application, you create a self-contained environment where the app will run.
