What is Demilitarized zone (network)?
In short
A demilitarized zone is a network segment between the internet and the internal network, separated by firewalls, that hosts public-facing servers such as web and email servers.
Key takeaways
- If a public server is compromised, the attacker still doesn't have direct access to the internal network.
- Traffic from it to the internal network is tightly restricted.
- It is a form of network segmentation.
