GL_demilitarized zone

 
demilitarized zone
 
perimeter network segment that is logically between internal and external networks (8)
 
NOTE: The purpose of a demilitarized zone is to enforce the internal network’s policy for external information exchange and to provide external, untrusted sources with restricted access to releasable information while shielding the internal network from outside attacks.
 
NOTE: In the context of industrial automation and control systems, the term “internal network” is typically applied to the network or segment that is the primary focus of protection. For example, a control network could be considered “internal” when connected to an “external” business network.
 
common, limited network of servers joining two or more zones for the purpose of controlling data flow between zones
 
NOTE  DMZ's are typically used to avoid direct connections between different zones.
