This is the world of air-gapped networks which hold importance in organization like government sector, bank, and health care centers. However, the conventional approaches towards managing data in these networks are like sharp keys with their unwieldy mechanism and restricted usage. This is where AirVault comes in as a new generation in the way data is stored and managed. AirVault is used as a secured storage environment within the air-gapped network. It ensures the documents are protected from any unauthorized access, but at the same time unlike a traditional safe the owners of the documents in AirVault are able to easily find and access the information they need. This is done using a technique referred to as searchable encryption, it is like holding a key where you look only that which is important without having to search the entire shelf like a common key. The advantages of AirVault transcend convenience alone but also encompass organizational and time-saving efficiency. Traditionally, the data technologies are hidden within these secure networks and do not maximize data available within secure networks that enables informed and effective data decision making and innovative activities. This improved data utilization aligns perfectly with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9: Promoting Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. Finally, using AirVault assists in improving the management of the infrastructures by providing secure means for data collection and analysis with the given compartmentalization of systems. This thesis provides a further insight into how AirVault works, how it uploads data while maintaining security, how it stores data, how it retrieves data and how it uses indexes so that users can search for data. In this paper, we assess the feasibility of integrating AirVault into operational systems, as well as the overall effect on data safety and growth in the highly sensitive world of air-gapped networks. We also delineate what further studies can be conducted to more improve secure and accessible data storage in these remote zones.
