Definition: demilitarized zone (DMZ): Systems or sections of a private local network that are made publicly available and visible from outside networks such as the Internet. Usually, a publicly-accessible resource (such as an HTTP server) is placed on a DMZ to protect the internal network while maintaining proper functionality for outside users.
