In order to move data from an unsecure WAN to a secure LAN, you typically begin by segmenting a piece of your LAN into a _________________________, which sits on the outside of your private network facing the public Internet. Servers in this area provide public-facing access to the organization, such as public Web sites.

Answer:

Demilitarized Zone - DMZ -

Step-by-step explanation:

A Demilitarized Zone - DMZ - is a subzone or also known as a "screened sub network". This is a physical or logical subnet in charge of detaching the Local Area Network from other potentially risky and untrusted networks. In such a case, the location for external-facing networks and resources is the DMZ. The main purpose of DMZ is to protect the internal LAN from external access, so restrictions are set for cybercriminals or unauthorized personnel and they are not able to access any data via Internet.
