firewalled

Blocked from access

Firewalled means protected or isolated by a firewall.

In computing, a firewalled network is shielded from unauthorized access: The server is firewalled against external threats.

In business and law, firewalled describes information or departments kept strictly separate to prevent conflicts of interest: The investment banking division is firewalled from the brokerage side.

The metaphor extends to any deliberate barrier: She kept her work life firewalled from her personal relationships.
