Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a separate network that sits between an organization's internal network and an external network, such as the internet. It is used to provide a layer of security and isolation for resources that need to be accessible from outside the organization, such as web servers. The DMZ is designed to allow limited access to the organization's internal network, while preventing direct access to sensitive resources. A bastion is a hardened computer system used for security purposes and a choke is a network congestion control mechanism, neither of which are directly related to providing access to outside users. A reduction point is not a commonly used networking term.
