A part of a network that is protected by a firewall, but may be accessed by external Internet clients. The DMZ generally contains servers such as SMTP...
Created by the 1953 Korean Armistice agreement, the DMZ consists of a buffer zone two kilometers on either side of a military demarcation line that follows the general trace of the front lines at the close of the war.
An area of a network, typically between the internal corporate network and either the external Internet or a partner, vendor, or client, usually between firewalls, providing some service or services. Part of a security system. See also firewall.
a zone from which military forces or operations or installations are prohibited; "tensions exist on both sides of the demilitarized zone separating North Korea and South Korea"
This refers to a part of the network that is neither part of the internal network nor directly part of the Internet. Typically, this is the area between your Internet access router and your bastion host, though it can be between any two policy-enforcing components of your architecture.
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is the area where an organization places its public information servers. The DMZ sits between the Internet and an internal network's line of defence.
Zone in multi-layered firewalls, which contains public Internet services.
In network security, a computer or network that uses a firewall to be isolated from, and to serve as a neutral zone between, a trusted network (for example, a private intranet) and an untrusted network (for example, the Internet). One or more secure gateways usually control access to the DMZ from the trusted or the untrusted network.
A demilitarized zone is a buffer that can be set up to separate the Internet from your LAN (Local Area Network).
A computer host (called the bastion host) or a small network inserted as a "neutral zone" between a company's private network and the outside public network. This zone protects the private network from possible intrusions.
Buffer zone between North and South Vietnam created by the 1954 Geneva agreements that temporarily divided the country.
A perimeter network that sits between an organization's internal network the rest of the world. They are used to host resources that have to be accessed by third parties or otherwise externally.
A separate network used to isolate public services from your private network. Both users from the Internet and users from the secure network may access servers in the DMZ. Traffic may not travel from the Internet or the DMZ directly to the secure network without first going through a proxy server (usually a firewall).
A subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the Internet.
Computer slang used for a protected network that sits between the Internet and the corporate network.
(DOD, NATO) A defined area in which the stationing, or concentrating of military forces, or the retention or establishment of military installations of any description, is prohibited.
A network located outside the trusted or secure network but still protected from an untrusted network, such as the Internet, by a firewall gateway. Network administrators often isolate public resources such as web or email servers in a DMZ so that an intruder who succeeds in breaching security can be prevented from attacking the internal network.
In computer security, a demilitarized zone (DMZ) or perimeter network is a network area (a subnetwork) that sits between an organization's internal network and an external network, usually the Internet. The point of a DMZ is that connections from the internal and the external network to the DMZ are permitted, whereas connections from the DMZ are only permitted to the external network -- hosts in the DMZ may not connect to the internal network. This allows the DMZ's hosts to provide services to the external network while protecting the internal network in case intruders compromise a host in the DMZ.
