Dual-Homed Host/Firewall: A security component that serves as a bridge between two networks, typically a secure internal network and an unsecured external network like the Internet. The dual-homed host has two network interfaces, with each connected to a separate network. It manages and controls the flow of traffic between these networks, mitigating the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
