Security zone: A portion of a network that has specific security policies enforced. This division can be physical or virtual and is used to segregate different types of data, systems, or resources based on their sensitivity or the level of trust. For example, a company might have a zone for more secure data, such as financial or customer information, which is separated from less secure zones containing non-sensitive data.
