A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a section of the network that is exposed to an untrusted network, usually the Internet.  The purpose of a DMZ is to act as an extra layer of security between external hosts and internal hosts.  For security purposes, hosts located in the DMZ may have limited or no access to hosts and services located on the internal network.  Examples of hosts that may reside in the DMZ include mail servers, web servers, FTP servers and SFTP/SSH servers.
