TRANSMITTING A SERVICE REPORT FROM AN AIR-GAPPED COMPUTING SYSTEM

Abstract: a method includes a node detecting that a service event has occurred within the node, wherein the node is located within an air-gapped computing system that includes a plurality of nodes, and wherein there is no wired communication connection between any device within the air-gapped computing system and any device outside the air-gapped computing system. the method further includes a wireless transceiver located within the air-gapped computing system transmitting a service report in a short-range wireless communication signal that extends beyond the air-gapped computing system, wherein the service report identifies the service event detected by the node. still further, the method includes a relay device located outside the air-gapped computing system receiving the short-range wireless communication signal that includes the service report, and the relay device forwarding the service report to a destination node located outside the air-gapped computing system.
