Theresa wants to keep the systems that perform critical industrial processes in her

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
