Architects are redesigning how the city's public website reaches the Internet so a compromise of that host cannot freely traverse into internal finance systems. Which network pattern best supports that goal?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A screened subnet—or DMZ—is the foyer of city hall: the public can knock on the website there, but they do not get free run of the finance wing. Flat VLANs and no firewalls invite exactly that free run.
Full Explanation
A screened subnet (DMZ) isolates Internet-facing systems such as municipal websites behind layered firewalls or filtering, with tightly controlled paths into internal networks. That architecture limits lateral movement if the public host is compromised. Co-locating public servers with sensitive internal systems or removing segmentation increases blast radius.
