The common method used to ensure the security and integrity of a root Certificate Authority (CA) is to **keep it in an offline state from the network**. This minimizes the risk of it being compromised by preventing unauthorized access, as it is not connected to any networks where it could be attacked. Keeping the root CA offline is a widely accepted best practice in public key infrastructure (PKI) management.
