The read-only requirement makes sense because otherwise confidentiality of the airgapped system can be easily compromised (data extraction).
If one's role is to only update AV on the airgapped machine then their data transfer to the airgapped machine should be only going into one direction.

- some_random 2y agoIt's incredibly easy to enforce read only on a USB stick when you destroy it after bringing it into a classified environment. As for antivirus, aren't we talking _right now_ about bringing potentially infected drives into an network?
