What term is used to describe an environment where there is no connection—wireless or wired—to any external network, guaranteeing a high level of security for sensitive data?
An air-gapped environment refers to a security measure that involves isolating a computer or network and preventing it from establishing an external connection. This means the system is physically segregated from unsecured networks, including the internet and local area networks. This isolation provides a strong barrier against unauthorized access and cyber attacks, as there is no pathway for data to flow in or out of the system electronically.
