Definition(s)
Security Zone
Grouping of logical or physical assets that share common security requirements.
- NOTE: All unqualified uses of the word “zone” in this standard should be assumed to refer to a security zone.
- NOTE: A zone has a clear border with other zones. The security policy of a zone is typically enforced by a combination of mechanisms both at the zone edge and within the zone. Zones can be hierarchical in the sense that they can be comprised of a collection of subzones
