Bastión

Equipos de frontera que, situados fuera de la red interna, ofrecen servicios al exterior. Equipos hacen virtud de la necesidad de estar bien asegurados pues están muy expuestos a ataques externos.

Se dice que un equipo está "fortificado" cuando se le han aplicado todas las protecciones conocidas, de forma que no adolece de ninguna vulnerabilidad conocida.

(en) bastion host

(I) A strongly protected computer that is in a network protected by a firewall (or is part of a firewall) and is the only host (or one of only a few) in the network that can be directly accessed from networks on the other side of the firewall.

(See: firewall.)

[RFC4949:2007]

(en) Bastion host

A computer placed outside a firewall to provide public services (such as World Wide Web access and FTP) to other Internet sites, hardened to withstand whatever attacks the Internet can throw at it.

Hardening is accomplished by making the box as single-purpose as possible, removing all unneeded services and potential security vulnerabilities. Bastion host is sometimes inaccurately generalized to refer to any host critical to the defense of a local network.
