I thought SD-WAN was more about optimizing connections, not blocking them.

Virtualization can still be accessed remotely, not ideal for this.

I feel like air-gapped is the safest option here, but I wonder if there are other methods that could also work, like using firewalls.

Containerization sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically addresses Internet access. I might be mixing it up with virtualization.

I remember studying SD-WAN and how it optimizes network traffic, but I don't think it actually prevents Internet access completely.

I think air-gapped might be the right choice since it physically isolates systems from the Internet, but I'm not entirely sure.

Air-gapped seems like the most secure option, but it might not be practical for a company that needs to access the internet for certain operations. I'll have to weigh the tradeoffs carefully.

SD-WAN could be a good option too. It allows you to create a secure, software-defined network that can control internet access. I'll have to compare the pros and cons of each choice.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't virtualization or containerization also help limit internet access and protect the systems? I'll have to think this through a bit more.
