Question

A manager wants to set up an area that is not on the LAN but not quite on the Internet. This area will house servers that will serve requests to users who are connecting to your web server. What type of network area or zone should be set up?
1. DMZ
2. Extranet
3. FTP
4. VPN

Answer 1

Answer:

1. DMZ  (Demilitarized zone)

Explanation:

In computer networking, a Demilitarized Zone is a physical or logical network designed to give an extra layer of security on the organization’s private network. The DMZ acts as an interface between an untrusted network such as the internet and the organization’s internal network. When a server is set up in a demilitarized zone, users can reach it via its public IP address. In case there is an attack on the server, the private network is still protected.
