Demilitarized zone. Used by a company that wants to host its own Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its private network. The DMZ sits between the Internet and an internal network's line of defense, usually some combination of firewalls and bastion hosts. Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP ) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers.
Demilitarised Zone A part of the network that is neither part of the internal network nor directly part of the Internet. Basically a network sitting between two networks.
A DMZ, or DeMilitarized Zone, is a segment of your network specifically for publicly-accessible servers. If you are most familiar with residential-class routers like Linksys and similar, these devices generally incorrectly refer to inbound NAT (opening ports from the internet to your LAN) as "DMZ" functionality. A true DMZ resides on a separate broadcast domain from the LAN, typically on a separate switch using a third interface on the firewall. VLAN's can also be used, but to eliminate the potential of a switch misconfiguration exposing your LAN to your DMZ and the potential effects of VLAN hopping attacks, this is not recommended. The main purpose of a DMZ is to segregate Internet-accessible servers from the LAN, to protect your trusted networks if a DMZ host is compromised. Typical DMZ Configuration. The following diagram illustrates a typical DMZ configuration.
A part of a network that is protected by a firewall, but may be accessed by external Internet clients. The DMZ generally contains servers such as SMTP...
DeMilitarized Zone is an area which is isolated from the inner and outer network of a firewall system. It is used to place servers in a protected area which has no direct access to the inner and outer network but can offer this service to people or systems in both areas. This is a very short description. Please consult specialized books or even better humans if you have absolute no idea how firewall systems work. This is really security relevant.
Military acronym for Demilitarized Zone. At least one downed UFO was alleged to have been recovered from the DMZ by the United States during the Vietnam War.
A DMZ is a network that makes public servers visible to the outside world and physically separates them from the LAN, thus making the LAN more secure.
Demilitarized Zone. A part of an organization network that is exposed to the external network (e.g. the Internet). This sub network usually contains servers (e.g. Web, mail, FTP) accessible to the public.
Demilitarised Zone and not used within document
Demilitarised Zone - a special network which is used for computers which need to be connected to from the Internet.
See perimeter network.
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a feature of firewall. It allows a set of computers to be exposed to the internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. DMZ allows computers to be exposed for that purpose.
ilitarized one. A common option on cable/DSL routers that allows one computer on the LAN to be placed outside the protection of the firewall. It is most often used to enable online games and other special applications that don't normally work behind a router.
A computer or device on an internal protected network that is placed outside the firewall, but still available to the LAN. The advantage of a DMZ computer is it has all communicatons ports open and it can use any special aplication that communicates on non-standard ports, such as many VoIP programs and online games. The disadvantage is that the device might be vulnerable to attacks, not being protected by the firewall.
De-Militarized Zone. A computer or small sub-network that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an un-trusted external network, such as the public Internet. Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers.
A host (computer) or small subnetwork that is configured to sit between a trusted internal network, such as an office LAN, and an untrusted external network, typically the Internet. The DMZ is often used to contain company web servers or other devices which need to be accessable from the Internet. Placing these services in the DMZ isolates them from the more sensitive areas of a network, providing an additional layer of security. Back
See de-militarized zone.
De Militarised Zone (of a firewall)
De- Militarised Zone is an isolated protected network where public- facing servers are placed to reduce the risk of exposure of the rest of the network to the Internet.
De-Militarised Zone - An area that exists between 'Trusted' and 'Untrusted' networks to provide additional levels of security whilst enabling external access to information.
An additional separate subnet, isolated as much as possible from protected networks.
See demilitarized zone.
Demilitarized Zone. Usually referrs to a server on a LAN that is exempt from the firewall rules for the LAN.
The Demilitarized Zone. A band of land separating North and South Vietnam. Theoretically, it was free of combatants.
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarised zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a "neutral zone" between a company's private network and the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to a server that has company data.
Demilitarized Zone. Taken from the military term for a safety zone between battle lines, this refers to an area within the firewall. Often this is a single machine with access to the internal site and the outside network. See also firewall.
A network added between a protected network and an external network in order to provide an additional layer of security. Sometimes called a perimeter network.
Demilitarized Zone- A network that has a different set of firewalls into which servers are placed so that they are available outside of Marist.
demilitarised zone, a buffer zone between countries that are fighting
Commonly it is the network segment between the Internet and a private network. It allows access to services from the Internet and the internal private network, while denying access from the Internet directly to the private network.
Detection of Motion Zone
An abbreviation for demilitarized zone.
A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a special part of a network where you put servers that should be accessible both internally and from the outside. It can be implemented both with private and public IP addresses. If using private addresses, setting up a server inside the DMZ will require port mapping in the firewall.
(Demilitarized Zone) - Removes the Router's firewall protection from one PC, allowing it to be "seen" from the Internet.
Demilitarized Zone; the zone dividing North and South Vietnam; the 17th parallel
(De-Militarized Zone) A network added between a protected network and an external network in order to provide an additional layer of security.
De-Militarised Zone, a no-man's land between the Internet and the internal network. This zone is NOT in the internal network, but is NOT widely open on the Internet. A firewall or a router usually protects this zone with network traffic filtering capabilities.
Short for demilitarized zone, a computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public Internet. Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP ) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. The term comes from military use, meaning a buffer area between two enemies.
This label, based on the military's "De-Militarized Zone" term, is what gamers coined for when your router forwards any likely internet game requests to a specific PC or game console on the home network. This enables the easiest game play. IMPORTANT - DMZ mode also opens your home network to hacker attack so it is not advisable to leave your router in this mode after you finish playing.
The DMZ is an area of a network between the border router and the perimeter defense device (firewall). The DMZ is often used for public servers and provides only limited protection to its hosts.
Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. A no-man's land where wintering cranes find suitable winter habitat and are undisturbed by human presence.
Acronym for Demilitarized Zone. A collection of devices and subnets placed between a private network and the Internet to help protect the private network from unauthorized Internet users.
Demilitarized Zone. The zone in the firewall which lies between the internal network and the external Internet.
The ilitarized one, roughly paralleling the 17th parallel, that separated North and South Vietnam. U.S. troops never crossed the DMZ, and thus never invaded North Vietnam
A feature in a NAT gateway that lets you expose a machine on your internal network to the outside Internet. DMZ nominally stands for demilitarized zone, and is sometimes also called "virtual server." It's basically port mapping for all available ports.
(Demilitarized Zone) The 4-kilometer-wide buffer zone along the approximately 241- kilometer-long Demarcation Line ( q.v.).
(DeMilitarized Zone) Many companies have a series of firewalls that become progressively more secure as you move from the external Internet to the internal Intranet The DMZ is the semi-secure region between the inner and outer firewalls..
A place on your network for servers that need to be visible from the Internet, such as Web and email servers.
DMZ stands for DeMilitarized Zone. In computer security terminology, a DMZ is a network area that sits between an organization's internal network and an external network, usually the Internet.
demilitarized zone. The dividing line between North and South Vietnam established in 1954 at the Geneva Convention.
The demilitarized zone, a euphemism for that portion of a corporate network that is protected by a simple firewall that provides basic security, but is usually configured to allow most traffic to flow. While the DMZ is not fully secure, it is safer than being on the Internet proper. Depending on the policies and configuration of the Corporate Firewall, the DMZ may be quite secure.
(Demilitarized Zone) A partially-protected zone on a network, not exposed to the full fury of the Internet, but not fully behind the firewall. This technique is typically used on parts of the network which must remain open to the public (such as a Web server) but must also access trusted resources (such as a database). The point is to allow the inside firewall component, guarding the trusted resources, to make certain assumptions about the impossibility of outsiders forging DMZ addresses. WatchGuard refers to the DMZ as the Optional network interface.
A network created by connecting two firewalls. Systems that are externally accessible but need some protections are usually located on DMZ networks.
