# Air Gap Protect: Secure, air-gapped cloud storage for backups

Air Gap Protect is a fully managed cloud storage target, offering ultimate security and scale. Using Air Gap Protect, you get air-gapped ransomware protection and optimized costs, without a steep learning curve.

## Key features

- Proven cyber security: Isolate your backups in an air-gapped, immutable security domain using AES-256 encryption.

- Built-in compliance: Streamline management with flexible long- and short-term storage options.

- Optimized, managed cost: Reduced infrastructure footprint, with predictable storage so you can build out long-term forecasting and avoid unexpected bills.

- Private network connectivity: Keep data traffic off the public internet. Air Gap Protect supports Azure Private Link and AWS PrivateLink with additional configuration, and Azure ExpressRoute by default.

## Guardrails

The following guardrails help ensure reliability, performance, and cost predictability:

- Cross-region and cross-cloud secondary backup copies are supported only with customer-managed infrastructure (that is, customer-managed MediaAgents).

- Only the AGP Frequent access storage tier can be used as a source for secondary backup copies.
