This statement is false because the Air Gap isolation zone is one of the most critical components of the Huawei OceanProtect ransomware protection solution. Huawei provides a comprehensive 'four-layer' protection framework for data resilience, where Air Gap technology serves as the final, most secure layer.

The Air Gap feature creates a security isolation zone for backup data. Under normal operations, the replication link between the production backup storage and the isolation zone storage is physically or logically disconnected (the 'gap'). The link only opens during a specific, scheduled window to replicate 'clean' data from the production site to the isolation zone, and it is immediately closed once replication is finished. This ensures that even if ransomware compromises the main network and production storage, the data in the Air Gap isolation zone remains 'invisible' and unreachable to the attacker. Combined with secure snapshots and WORM, this allows organizations to recover their business from an uninfected copy of the data, making Air Gap a core supported feature of the OceanProtect portfolio.
