Automated Scheduling Operation
EtherGap can automatically open and close physical network paths according to scheduled policies, allowing organizations to expose connectivity only during approved operational windows and restore isolation when the task is complete.
Scheduled Physical Connectivity
Many high-value systems only need network access during specific backup, maintenance, replication, synchronization, or administrative windows. EtherGap allows those windows to be scheduled in advance while keeping the protected path physically isolated the rest of the time.
Instead of leaving sensitive infrastructure continuously reachable, EtherGap changes the security model from always-connected to intentionally-connected. Connectivity becomes a temporary operating condition rather than a permanent exposure.
Reduce Exposure Without Requiring Manual Action
Automated scheduling helps enforce consistent isolation behavior even when operators are unavailable, distracted, or managing multiple systems. Approved events can open the physical path for a defined purpose, then return the environment to an isolated state automatically.
This supports recurring operational needs while reducing dependence on memory, manual checklists, or after-hours intervention.
Scheduling Benefits
- Automatically open and close physical network paths
- Support backup, replication, maintenance, and administrative windows
- Reduce persistent attack surface exposure
- Restore isolation automatically after scheduled access
- Improve operational consistency across recurring tasks
- Limit connectivity to approved time periods
- Provide visible status for scheduled isolation events
