Automating Security in Air-Gapped Environments

Secure mission-critical systems—even when cloud connectivity isn’t an option. This white paper explores how agencies can automate protection across air-gapped and DDIL environments, reduce reliance on manual patching, and strengthen resilience without compromising performance or mission readiness.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why air-gapped environments still face insider, removable media, and operational security risks.
  • How automated endpoint protection can reduce dependence on manual patching and constant connectivity.
  • Ways to strengthen threat detection, device control, encryption, and data loss prevention in disconnected environments.
  • How autonomous, policy-driven security can support Zero Trust while preserving mission readiness across NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, and DDIL environments.
