Original: What if a computer could not connect to the Internet? No Wi-Fi. No Ethernet. No normal route to another network. This is
An explainer on air-gapped systems is drawing attention among cybersecurity readers. It describes computers deliberately kept off the internet, with no Wi-Fi or Ethernet, to isolate sensitive machines from less-trusted networks. Such isolation is standard practice for critical infrastructure, military systems and other high-security environments, and the piece walks through the basic idea behind it.
Why now: Cybersecurity discussions keep returning to air gaps as a last line of defense for sensitive systems.
