What you'll do
Systems that are required to provide remote or public customer access should be placed in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
- The DMZ is a separate space set aside for public access but does not allow attackers access to sensitive internal network assets.
- If public-facing (Internet) servers were hosted on the internal network then an attacker could easily breach the server and use trust relationships or configurations to burrow further into the internal network.
- ⏱ About 60 minutes
Scored lab. A scored lab checks your work and records a score you can see on the lab page.
