Information Security refers to the protection of any network and its underlying data. It prevents a network from an unauthorized access, misuse, modification, and deletion of any data inside the network. It targets various security threats and stops them from entering or spreading into the network. It consists of multiple layers of defense in the network; this is known as Defence in Depth Principle. In this each layer has its own policies and protocols to implement; its main aim is to give access to authorized users while blocking malicious users that are carrying threats. DeMilitarized Zone is the kind of Network Security that based on the Principle of Defence in Depth. It is also represent as “DMZ”.
