ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 44
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 44 of 100
A file server containing confidential company information belongs on the protected internal corporate LAN, not in the DMZ. The DMZ is an isolated network segment for systems that must accept communication from untrusted external networks. Placing public-facing services there limits access from a compromised server to sensitive internal resources.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) an Internet-facing mail server must receive connections from outside and is a DMZ candidate
- (b) a public authoritative DNS server must answer external queries and is a DMZ candidate
- (d) a public web server provides information to external users and is normally placed in the DMZ
Key rule: Public-facing servers go in the DMZ; servers holding confidential internal data remain on a more strongly protected internal network.
