This isolation is achieved by storing the data on a separate system that is not connect to any network. The name &#8220;air gap&#8221; comes from the literal gap between the isolated system and any potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Air_Gap_Storage_Work\"><\/span>How Does Air Gap Storage Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Air gap storage works by creating a physical barrier between sensitive data and potential threats.

This means that an individual or team must physically retrieve the data from the air-gapped system and transfer it to a network-connected device. Similarly, any data that needs to be store on the air-gap system must also be transfer manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limited_Access\"><\/span>Limited Access:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Access to the air-gap system is strictly limit to authorize personnel only.
