What is the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ)?
The DMZ is the area between firewall and web server. The firewall does not scan HTTP request, which can also be used a source of attack. With the proliferation of Intranets using web-based technologies and the tremendous development of businesses going online with B2B, B2C and now ERP and MRP solutions, the web server security becomes crucial. DZ security tools complement the firewall by protecting web servers’ vulnerabilities from being exploited. DMZ Security solutions intervene between the firewall and the web server. They operate transparently, without affecting the traffic to the server, and yet protecting it from any intrusion, stealth of information or defacement. They maintain web sites in their original state at all time.
