DMZ
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized 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. (The term comes from the geographic buffer zone that was set up
between North Korea and South Korea following the UN "police action" in the early
1950s.)
