True/False

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE.

Explanation:

An intranet is a private enterprise network designed to support an organization's employees to communicate, collaborate and perform their roles.

Just as an organization sets up websites to provide global access to informations about their business, they also set up internal web pages to provide information about the organization to the employees, this internal set of web pages is called an INTRANET.

An intranet is a restricted version of the internet, and the one that doesn't allow access to anyone outside its network (consists of all its employees and senior level, partners, investors and shareholders). Intranets, typically use a local-only network, which restricts access.

An intranet depends on the use of internet technologies to world wide web. They use the transmission control protocol/ internet protocol (TCP/IP), web pages and web browsers for access. Intranet operates similarly to the internet, making a transition to these networks very easy.

Therefore, it is TRUE that the intranet is a restricted network that relies on internet technologies to provide an internet-like environment within the company for information sharing, communications collaboration, web publishing, and the support of business processes.
