What Is an Air-Gapped Network? Endpoint Security in Isolated Environments
An air-gapped network has no link to the outside world. Public sector, defense, energy and some finance organizations use this model for critical systems.
An isolated network environment with no physical or logical connection to the internet or external networks.
Why Does It Matter?
Cloud-based security tools do not work in an isolated network. In these environments, the management and protection tool must also run on-premises.
Core Principles & How It Works
What Threats Arise from Inadequate Protection?
- ✕Malware carried into the isolated network on removable media (USB).
- ✕Offline devices that stay unpatched.
How Does Moftgate Solve This Challenge?
Moftgate installs fully on-premises. The console and agent work without internet. USB control governs data entry and exit for the isolated network.
