INTRANETS
An intranet is a TCP/IP network located within a single organization for purposes
of communications and information processing.
Internet technologies are generally far less expensive than proprietary networks,
and there is a global source of new applications that can run on intranets.
The largest provider of local area network software is Microsoft, followed by
open source Linux, both of which use TCP/ IP networking protocols.
EXTRANETS
An extranet is a website that allows controlled access to partners, vendors and
suppliers or an authorized set of customers – normally to a subset of the
information accessible from an organization's intranet.
Anextranet is similar to a DMZ in that it provides access to needed services for
authorized parties, without granting access to an organization's entire network.
Historically
the term was occasionally also used in the sense of two
organizations sharing their internal networks over a VPN.
PUBLIC NETWORKS
A public network is a type of network wherein anyone, namely the general public,
has access and through it can connect to other networks or the Internet.
Thisis in contrast to a private network, where restrictions and access rules are
established in order to relegate access to a select few. Since a public network
has few or no restrictions, users need to be wary of possible security risks when
accessing it.
Because any user can connect to a public network, its level of security needs to
be heightened and various anti-threat and 61 malicious act precautions must be
put in place.
PRIVATE NETWORKS
A private network is any connection within a specified network wherein
restrictions are established to promote a secured environment.
Thistype of network can be configured in such a way that devices outside the
network cannot access it. Only a selected set of devices can access this type of
network depending on the settings encoded in the network routers and access
points.
There
are some factors that need to be addressed in order to have a secured
connection, making private networks more complicated to set up.
