DAMA CDMP DMF-1220 Question # 178 Topic 18 Discussion

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network segment that acts as a buffer between the public internet and an organization’s internal systems, protected by two firewalls. The DAMA-DMBOK explains: “A DMZ is typically configured with two firewalls: one between the DMZ and the external internet, and another between the DMZ and the internal network, to secure internal systems from external threats” (DMBOK2, Chapter 8: Data Security, p. 303).

Options A, B, C, and E are incorrect: A is nonsensical; B is vague; C includes the extranet, which is not standard; and E uses “intranet,” which is less precise than “internal systems.”
