You are helping a friend set up a public-facing web server for a home office.
Your friend wants to protect the internal network from intrusion.
What should you do?
A. Set the web server in a perimeter network.
B. Set the web server to block access on ports 80 and 443.
C. Configure the firewall to block access on ports 80 and 443.
D. Set the IP address of the web server to be within the LAN.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
In computer security, a DMZ or demilitarized zone (sometimes referred to as a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization’s external-facing services to a larger and untrusted network, usually the Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization’s local area network (LAN); an external network node only has direct access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.
