3. What are the differences between the perimeter network and the interior network, from the
perspective of information security?
The perimeter network, also called the demilitarized zone, is the network that lies between the
external network and the organization’s internal network. The perimeter network hosts external
services such as http, smtp, and DNS. The internal network, or the militarized zone, is the
location of all the organization’s information assets. The interior firewall limits access to the
organization’s internal network.
