What is Isolation?
Isolation is a security principle focused on separating critical resources, processes, or data to prevent unauthorized access or modification. This separation limits the potential impact of a security breach, vulnerability, or error. By creating distinct boundaries, it ensures that if one component is compromised, the damage is contained and does not spread to other parts of the system.
