What is the difference between intranet and internet?
If a company wants to provide online information to all its employees but restrict access to only employees, the company can create an “intranet”. Similar in structure and design to the Internet (uses TCP/IP) but essentially private and much smaller in scope, intranets are a fast growing segment of the networking community. Employees would need to “sign in” to the company’s main intranet site and then gain access to any intranet content. A firewall is used to ensure no unauthorized access is permitted from outside the intranet.
