 An **air gap server** is a computer system physically isolated from unsecured networks, including the Internet, to protect critical data from remote cyberattacks. This isolation—combined with full disk encryption and strict physical access controls—provides defense-in-depth against ransomware, unauthorized access, and compromised source systems. The system typically remains powered off except during scheduled backup operations, with data transferred via encrypted removable media ("sneakernet"). This approach is particularly valuable for long-term backup storage where the reduced attack surface and offline state dramatically limit exposure to both network-based and physical threats, making it an essential component of a comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity strategy. An **air gap server** is a computer system physically isolated from unsecured networks, including the Internet, to protect critical data from remote cyberattacks.
