Explanation

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network segment placed between two firewalls - an outer firewall facing the internet and an inner firewall protecting the internal network. Servers that need to be accessible from the public internet (such as web servers, mail servers, and DNS servers) are placed in the DMZ. This architecture isolates publicly accessible resources so that if they are compromised, attackers still cannot directly reach the internal network. A VPN creates encrypted tunnels for remote access; a SAN is storage area networking; a VLAN segments traffic logically on a single network - none of these describe the two-firewall sandwich topology.
