# Network Security Zone

In the context of the student residences, a **Network Security Zone** is a segmented portion of the university network designed to isolate resident devices from the core campus infrastructure and protect them from external internet-based attacks.

This zone is managed by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] and is protected by a central firewall, ensuring that traffic entering and leaving the residences is filtered to maintain security and stability.
