As organizations operate in increasingly regulated and security-sensitive environments, air-gapping has become a key strategy for minimizing risk and ensuring compliance. This talk explores how detached systems can be effectively implemented across platforms like RHEL10, Red Hat OpenShift and AI-driven workloads, supporting both security and operational needs. Tools such as Red Hat Satellite play a crucial role by enabling secure provisioning, updates, and management in disconnected environments. We’ll also discuss how traditional security practices remain relevant in modern contexts.
