I'm a bit confused. I thought filtering was related to data security too, but now I'm leaning towards air-gapping since it sounds more relevant.

I practiced a similar question where they mentioned disconnecting from the internet for security. I believe it was also called air-gapping.

I think the answer might be air-gapping, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember it being about isolating systems.
