 The perimeter VPC hosts the Organization's perimeter security services. The Perimeter VPC is used to control the flow of traffic between AWS Accounts and external networks: both public and private via GC CAP and GC TIP. This VPC hosts Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) that provide perimeter security services including virus scanning / malware protection, Intrusion Protection services, TLS Inspection and Web Application Firewall protection. If applicable, this VPC also hosts reverse proxy servers.
 
+Note that this VPC is in its own isolated account, separate from Shared Network, in order to facilitate networking and security 'separation of duties'. Internal networking teams may administer the cloud networks in Shared Network without being granted permission to administer the security perimeter itself.

 #### 3.2.1. IP Ranges
 
 - **Primary Range**: The _AWS Secure Environment Architecture_ recommends that the perimeter VPC have a primary range in the [RFC1918][1918] block (e.g. `10.7.4.0/22`), used only for subnets dedicated to 'detonation' purposes. This primary range, in an otherwise-unused [RFC1918][1918] range, is not intended to be routeable outside of the VPC, and is reserved for future use with malware detonation capabilities of NGFW devices.
