Hálózatperem

Hálózatperem, often translated as network edge or network perimeter, refers to the boundary of a computer network. It is the point where a private network connects to an external network, typically the internet. This boundary is critical for security as it is the primary point of entry and exit for data.

Devices like firewalls, routers, and intrusion detection systems are commonly deployed at the hálózatperem to control and monitor network traffic. The primary function of the hálózatperem is to enforce security policies, allowing legitimate traffic to pass while blocking unauthorized access and malicious content. It acts as a gatekeeper, protecting the internal network resources from external threats.

The concept of the hálózatperem has evolved over time with the increasing complexity of network architectures. In traditional on-premises networks, the perimeter was clearly defined by the physical location of the network infrastructure. However, with the rise of cloud computing, mobile devices, and remote work, the traditional perimeter has become more fluid and distributed. This has led to new security approaches, such as zero-trust architectures, which assume that no device or user, inside or outside the network, can be implicitly trusted. Understanding and managing the hálózatperem remains a fundamental aspect of network security.
