= Security Model

When it comes to Apache Ignite security, it is very important to note that by having access to any Ignite cluster node (a server node or a thick client node) it is possible to perform malicious actions on the cluster. There are no mechanisms that could provide protection for the cluster in such scenarios.

Therefore, all link:../clustering/network-configuration.adoc#_discovery[Discovery] and link:../clustering/network-configuration.adoc#_communication[Communication] ports for Ignite server and thick client nodes should only be available inside a protected subnetwork (the so-called demilitarized zone or DMZ). Should those ports be exposed outside of DMZ, it is advised to control access to them by using SSL certificates issued by a trusted Certification Authority (please see this link:ssl-tls.adoc[page] for more information on Apache Ignite SSL/TLS configuration).
