Avanced secure Internet connection with several Internet exposed

 

This scenario is recommended for businesses with the following Internet requirements:

bullet

All (or specified) workstations and servers need access to the Internet

bullet

No connection from the Internet is permitted to access the LAN

bullet

Corporate e-mail and web site is located at the customer premises.

Hardened security is required for DMZ and LAN, including dedicated IDS device 

In the scenario above, the DMZ is connected through Firewall-1 and the access router to the Internet, and is connected to the LAN through Firewall-2. The dual firewall design provides multi-tier network protection so that if intruders penetrate the external Firewall-1, the LAN is still protected by Firewall-2. This design provides the system administrator the time to analyze his logs from the IDS hardware and update his security profile.
