Description
This boundary is between NIHnet and a business partner. The business partner domain is assumed to be untrusted primarily because it is not under direct NIH management and NIH cannot control changes in the business partner network that may increase risk to NIH. However, the business partner domain may be host to trusted and untrusted users that will need to access systems on NIHnet. Similarly, users on NIHnet will need to access systems within the business partner domain.
