It is ideally located between two firewalls, and the DMZ firewall setup ensures incoming network packets are observed by a firewall—or other security tools—before they make it through to the servers hosted in the DMZ. This means that even if a sophisticated attacker is able to get past th...
It is in these situations that a DMZ host can be setup. Any device that is configured as a DMZ host on a router is excluded from the firewall protections that the router offers. This means that all ports on the device are externally accessible, which is good for the purposes of ...
FTP, on the other hand, is stateful, which means it collects data about the client and uses it in the next request the client makes. Because FTP performs this function, it is limited in the number of sessions it can support simultaneously. Regardless of the bandwidth of a network, HTTP ...
In SASE, the dual-vendor approach means having two or more providers for ZTNA, SWG, CASB, SD-WAN/WANaaS, and FWaaS — often one for security, and one for networking. This lets organizations customize their tech stack and leverage the strengths of each vendor. It also means organizations ...

In a demilitarized zone (DMZ) network between two firewalls at a site.Terminating a VPN tunnel in a DMZ between firewalls is more secure than the above approaches because the external firewall protects the remote site systems, while the internal firewall protects the corporate systems. ...
Use DMZ.Some routers have aDMZfeature that allows you to expose a single device on your network directly to the Internet, bypassing the router's NAT. While this can be a workaround, it is not ideal for security reasons. ImplementIPv6to eliminate NAT.IPv6 eliminates the need for NAT due...
Although the exact responsibilities can vary between different cloud providers, the idea is that both parties share the responsibility to make the DBaaS work as intended. For example, in most DBaaS setups, the provider takes care of hardware maintenance, networking, OS installation and...
Hubs, switches, and routers are all computer networking devices with varying capabilities. Unfortunately, the terms are often misused. Question: What’s the difference between a hub, a switch, and a router? In a word, intelligence. Hubs, switches, and routers are all devices that connect compu...
