Inside a DMZ

Deploying the Bomgar Box™ appliance into a perimeter-based DMZ segment meets security best practice and is Symantec's recommended location for the secure deployment of the device. A DMZ, or de-militarized zone, is a network that is protected by access control mechanisms. Access control may be provided by a firewall device, a router or a switch that provides port and address filtering capabilities. The purpose of the DMZ is to limit access to systems that are deployed within it. In the case of the Bomgar Box™, the DMZ will limit connectivity to the device and only allow access to the appropriate ports.

Pros

• Security Best Practice

• DMZ provides access control filters, network segmentation, and additional logging capabilities

Cons

• Requires changes to the perimeter firewall or access control device
