IDS Fundamentals and Network Architecture

You are concerned that external attackers could penetrate your network through your company web server. You want to position the web server between two firewalls:

  • One firewall between the web server and the outside world
  • The other firewall between the web server and your network

What is this called?

  • A DMZ
  • B SPI firewall
  • C IDS
  • D Application Gateway firewall
Explanation

A DMZ is a separate network segment for public-facing systems, such as web servers, positioned between the internet-facing firewall and the internal-network firewall. It limits direct access from exposed services to the internal network.
