Question
Theresa wants to keep the systems that perform critical industrial processes in her
organization secure, so she builds a physically separate network and prohibits connections to
that network by other devices. What type of segmentation solution has she used?
Group of answer choices
A Faraday cage
A VLAN
An air gap
A jumpbox

Theresa has used **an air gap** as her segmentation solution. An air gap refers to a security measure where a secure network is physically isolated from untrusted networks, preventing any direct connections or transmissions between the two. This is commonly used to protect critical systems from external threats.
- A Faraday cage is more about protecting against electromagnetic interference rather than network segmentation.
- A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical separation that operates within the same physical network infrastructure but does not provide physical isolation.
- A jumpbox (or jump server) is a server used to manage devices in a separate network but does not create an isolated network by itself.
So, the correct answer is **an air gap**.
