A small business wants to protect its web server from direct exposure to the internet while still allowing its customers to access the website. Which network configuration would best accomplish this?
Place the web server in a screened subnet between two firewalls
Place the web server directly behind the internal firewall while opening HTTP and HTTPS ports
Enable port forwarding for HTTP and HTTPS to the internal web server
Place a web application firewall (WAF) in front of the web server within the internal network
A screened subnet is a network segment that is isolated from both the internal LAN and the external network (internet) by firewalls. It is designed to add an additional layer of security by controlling access to and from the internet, allowing public services to be accessible without exposing the entire internal network.
