# What are sandboxes
## AppSecEngineer Sandboxes provide secure, pre-configured cloud environments for hands-on security learning without using personal cloud accounts. They offer hassle-free, cost-effective labs across AWS, Azure, and GCP, enabling safe experimentation without risking real infrastructure.
In AppSecEngineer, Sandboxes are the easiest and most secure way to learn Cloud security since you don't need to use your own cloud account or expose your Cloud infrastructure to the simulated attacks we'll be performing in our Labs all of our Cloud labs are completely hosted on our servers.
**Cloud Sandboxes are available for:**
1. Enterprise Account
2. Individual Pro Plus Plan
3. Custom Sandbox only package ([Talk to Sales)](https://www.appsecengineer.com/enterprises/pricing)
