Air Gap (Networking)

Basics

• A method of adding security to a network where there is an "airgap" between a network and the World Wide Web / larger networks
• Thus (In theory/most cases...se below) it is impossible for the system to be remotely hacked
• Main use cases are secure data storage, and potentially Smart Homes / IOT systems
