Is it possible to ensure memory isolation for different processes in an operating system?

Yes, the operating system provides memory isolation for different processes using a virtual memory mechanism. Each process is assigned its own virtual address space, which is mapped to physical memory through page tables.
This prevents one process from accessing the memory of another, enhancing system security and stability. If a process attempts to access memory outside its allocated space, the OS generates an error (for example, a segmentation fault).
