Description: Isolation is the process of separating a detected threat from the rest of the system. This concept is fundamental in cybersecurity, as it allows for containing and mitigating the impact of an attack or vulnerability. By implementing isolation techniques, the goal is to limit the ability of malware or an attacker to spread to other parts of the system or network. This can be achieved through various strategies, such as virtualization, the use of containers, or network segmentation. Isolation not only protects critical data and resources but also facilitates incident response, allowing security teams to analyze and remediate threats without compromising the operational environment. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, isolation has become an essential practice for maintaining the integrity and availability of information systems.
