air gapped ot

The air gapped ot tag covers security and resilience challenges in isolated industrial control environments, including plants, utilities, SCADA systems, and other safety-critical infrastructure. Tagged discussions examine how USB drives, manual imports, gateways, and other controlled transfer paths can bridge an air gap and introduce malware or operational risk. The focus extends beyond network isolation to practical defenses: detecting suspicious activity, containing incidents, testing recovery procedures, and maintaining service when systems are compromised. This archive is useful for readers evaluating whether an air-gapped design remains resilient in real-world workflows, where removable media and necessary data exchange can undermine the protection an isolated network is intended to provide.
