Description: A quarantine protocol defines the steps to follow when a device is suspected of being compromised. This protocol is essential in the field of information security, especially in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), where the proliferation of connected devices increases the risk of cyberattacks. Implementing a quarantine protocol allows organizations to isolate suspicious devices to prevent the spread of malware or the leakage of sensitive data. The main features of a quarantine protocol include identifying at-risk devices, assessing their security status, and executing corrective measures, which may include disconnecting from the network, updating software, or restoring to a secure state. This proactive approach not only protects the integrity of the network but also helps maintain user trust in connected systems. In an environment where connectivity is crucial, a well-defined quarantine protocol becomes a critical tool for risk management and operational security.
