Why would you need A/V on an air-gapped system?
- meowster 2y agoAir-gapped doesn't mean no data transfer. If there is data transfer, then viruses could get on it which will use up system resources.
- lolc 2y agoI didn't expand on that but actually that system was part of a global network; entirely separate from the Internet. There was MS Outlook installed on the terminal nodes. One can see how somebody could become nervous about not having AV on the nodes and come up with a "protection" scheme like the one I described.
