Explanation

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a firewall-defined security zone that sits between the trusted internal network and the untrusted external network. It is specifically designed to isolate publicly accessible services (like web or mail servers) so that a compromise does not directly expose the internal network. VPNs create encrypted tunnels for remote access, ACLs filter traffic but do not define security zones within a firewall, and VLANs segment traffic at Layer 2 but are not a firewall security zone construct.
