Enrique is worried about the backup data being infected by malware. The company backs up key servers to digital storage on a backup server. What would be MOST effective in preventing the backup data from being infected by malware?

Air gapping refers to the server not being on a network. This literally means that there is “air” between the server and the network. This prevents malware from infecting the backup server. A separate VLAN or physical network segment can enhance security but is not as effective as air gapping. A honeynet is used to detect attacks against a network, but it doesn’t provide an effective defense against malware in this scenario.
