The correct answer is true. A screened subnet, typically known as an area outside the internal network but inside the external firewall, is designed to host services that need to be accessible from both internal users and the public internet. By isolating this network segment, organizations create an additional security layer. Traffic between the internal network and the external networks, such as the internet, must go through this subnet, which is controlled by firewalls to ensure proper security measures are in place and direct connectivity is restricted.
