An organisation uses an intranet. Which statement best describes an intranet?

An intranet is a private network using internet technology that only authorised employees can access, typically for sharing policies, documents and internal news. It differs from a public website, and from an extranet, which gives selected external parties such as suppliers controlled access.

  1. AA private network using internet technology, accessible only to authorised employeesCorrect
  2. BA public website open to all customers
  3. CA network linking the organisation to its suppliers only, available to the general public
  4. DA system for sending email to external parties only

Explanation

An intranet is an internal, private network built on internet technology and restricted to employees. A public website is not restricted, and a supplier-only network describes an extranet, not an intranet.
