Explanation

A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a network segment that is separated from both the internal and external networks by firewalls. The purpose of a DMZ is to provide limited access to public resources, such as web servers, email servers, or DNS servers, while protecting the internal network from unauthorized access. A DMZ should not contain database servers, file servers, or hosts that store sensitive or unimportant data, as these could be compromised by attackers who gain access to the DMZ.
