Electronic security system and scheme for a communications network

A system for providing electronic security for an internal resource capable of communicating via an external communications network, tie system comprising:

• a server having a first set of ports for communication between the external communications network and the server;
• the server having a second set of ports for communication between an internal communications network and the server;
• a first firewall in communication with the first set of ports and interposed to provide at least one interconnection between the first set of ports and the external communications network, wherein the first firewall includes a primary interconnection for supporting Hypertext Transfer Protocol traffic, a second interconnection dedicated to encrypted Hypertext Transfer Protocol traffic, a tertiary interconnection dedicated to monitoring a server, and a quaternary interconnection for monitoring operations and maintenance of the internal resource affiliated with the internal communications network;
• and
• a second firewall in communication with the second set of ports and interposed to provide a nonnegative integer number of interconnections between the first set of ports and the internal communications network.
