DMZ
Troops-free buffer zone
DMZ stands for demilitarized zone—a buffer area between hostile territories where military forces are prohibited.
The term is most associated with the border between North and South Korea, established in 1953: They visited the DMZ on a tour of the Korean peninsula.
In computing, a DMZ is a network segment that sits between a private network and the public internet, providing an extra layer of security for servers that need external access.
