==
It is worth noting that Win32 app isolation is an addition to the family of existing Windows sandbox options, such as Windows Sandbox and Microsoft Defender Application Guard. While these options are based on virtualization based security, Win32 app isolation is built on the foundation of AppContainers (and more).
==
Win32 app isolation:
A new security feature designed to be the default isolation standard on Windows clients. It is built on AppContainers and offers several added security features to help defend against attacks that leverage vulnerabilities in applications.
==
Preventive and containment measures:
The combined power of Win32 app isolation and cutting-edge technologies like Smart App Control work to effectively block untrusted applications and limit the damage if trusted apps are compromised.
==
Limit damage:
Win32 app isolation achieves its goal of limiting impact by running apps with low privilege, which requires a multi-step attack to break out of the container.
==
Reduce developer effort:
Microsoft provides developer tools and experiences, with a focus on the MSIX packaging tool and the Application Capability Profiler.
===
Seamless user experience:
Security decisions are not delegated to end-users via cryptic security prompts, and application compatibility is maintained.
