Definitions

Type Definition Sources
Asset A server that acts as an intermediary between two computer systems engaged in network communication. The proxy server accepts service requests to and from client computers (computers placed behind and protected by the proxy server), and makes the connection to the desired destination on behalf of the requesting party. The proxy server may exist in the same machine as a firewall server or it may be on a separate server, which forwards requests through the firewall. (used 25 times in citations and controls)
Noun Intermediary programs that act as both a server and a client for making requests on behalf of other clients. Requests are serviced internally or by passing them on, possibly after translation, to other servers. A proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites a request message before forwarding it.
