Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
A separate network segment that is isolated from the internal network but exposed to the internet, used to host publicly accessible services.
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a security measure that creates a perimeter network between an organization's internal network and the internet. It is designed to host services that need to be accessible from the internet, such as web servers and email servers, while keeping the internal network secure.
The DMZ allows for controlled exposure to the internet, reducing the risk of direct attacks on the internal network. It is crucial to implement strict security controls within the DMZ to ensure that only authorized services are accessible.
Regular audits and updates are necessary to maintain the integrity of the DMZ and to adapt to new security threats.
