Is a solution to protect against this to go almost fully offline?

To have your own local models, local software, local everything and just allow very strict and well-protected pathways into external network traffic.

I am thinking of having a allow-list first setup: by default no traffic can go in or out of your network, and then you only allow specific ports or domains, and maybe even have them temporary (in the same way we approve access now to llms, we might have to manually approve network access).
