Summary

Security Through Purity — Bypassing the Red Queen` Sauce Labs uses virtual machines to run browsers, which poses a risk of malicious software installation and data capture. To mitigate this, Sauce Labs provides a cloud technology that allows for cold booting VMs in under 40 seconds, ensuring minimal delay and no additional expense for security. This approach also increases reliability by using pristine VMs for every session, eliminating intermittent failures caused by previous users' actions. By offering secure, remote browsers for various testing scenarios, Sauce Labs provides confidence to customers that they can test their external or internal services without the need to build and manage their own browser testing infrastructure.
