USE CASES

Three ways to make assets online only when needed.

AirgapNet products add a physical network break around systems that should not remain reachable around the clock. These examples show where AGN1 fits into everyday security operations.

Control plane: GSM / out-of-band
Primary product: AGN1
Pattern: Physical disconnect

Immutable backups

Keep backup repositories dark except during the backup or maintenance window.

Problem: Backup targets are often reachable all day, giving ransomware operators time to discover, tamper with, or erase recovery data before encryption starts.
AirgapNet workflow: Place AGN1 in front of the backup network path. Keep the repository physically disconnected by default, then reconnect it on schedule or on demand for the approved backup job.
Outcome: Exposure time drops from always-on access to a controlled operating window, while existing firewall and backup tooling stay in place.

Secure remote maintenance

Open vendor or service access only for the appointment window.

Problem: Remote maintenance paths tend to become permanent exceptions, even when a supplier only needs access for a short service task.
AirgapNet workflow: AGN1 creates a physical break in the access path. IT reconnects the line for the planned session through out-of-band control, then disconnects it again when the job is complete.
Outcome: Teams keep operational flexibility without leaving a standing remote-access route exposed after the maintenance window closes.

Internet isolation for critical devices

Reduce exposure for controllers, appliances, cameras, and edge systems.

Problem: Many critical or edge devices need network access only intermittently, but remain reachable because unplugging them manually is slow and inconsistent.
AirgapNet workflow: Deploy AGN1 as a controlled network switch for a single device or small segment. Reconnect only when updates, checks, or data transfer are required.
Outcome: The asset becomes online when needed instead of always online, with a physical disconnect that complements the existing security stack.

Need a local override?

AGN1 with switch keeps the same airgap principle and adds hands-on control.

Use it where operators need a visible, physical switching action alongside app-based control.
