Common use of Partitioning Clause in Contracts

Partitioning. Our network is partitioned to provide minimum access between our servers and the internet. In particular, our databases cannot directly access or be accessed from the internet, but only from specific servers. Only a handful of servers can be accessed from the internet, and only on specific ports and using specific protocols (e.g., no unencrypted connections are permitted). This reduces the likelihood that external hackers can gain access to our servers and then get data out.
