An organization must allow inbound requests to a web portal while safeguarding private systems. Which deployment approach maintains a clear separation between accessible and restricted zones?
Set up the device on the boundary, enforcing policies to direct data for public interaction.
Place the device behind the host configured to filter external traffic.
Install the device within private segments where other products reinforce protection externally.
Exclude the device in inbound paths and leverage alert systems for traffic analysis.
Placing the device at the boundary offers initial screening for incoming connections. Approaches that place the device behind the host or bury it in private segments can create partial coverage for new or unfamiliar traffic. Alert-based approaches reduce real-time control and may allow unverified data paths. The boundary approach filters external data before it reaches sensitive areas, maintaining a distinct division of public and internal resources.
