In the modern era of digital transformation, the protection of sensitive data has become increasingly vital. Cyber threats and attacks have become more sophisticated, and even the most secure networks are vulnerable to breaches. As a result, organizations, that are handling a large amount of personal data of customers and employees, financial information and also trade secrets, are turning to air-gapped networks as a means of protecting their most sensitive assets. Air-gapped networks provide an extra layer of security by isolating critical systems from the internet and other networks. This isolation makes it difficult for attackers to gain access to these networks and steal sensitive data. However, air-gapped networks are not foolproof, and there are still vulnerable to various risks, including insider threats, physical access, and malware introduced through removable media. This paper aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of air-gapped networks, the common vulnerabilities and methods of penetration, and the different methods of detection. Moreover, in the paper will also discuss how to bridge air-gapped networks to other networks and to the Network for information sharing and data transferring, while maintaining security. By understanding the potential risks and methods of protection, organizations can evaluate the suitability of air-gapped networks for their security needs.
