Extranet

Extranet: The Basics

An extranet is a closed network that uses internet technology and a public telecommunication system to share part of a business's internal information, securely, with employees, partners, customers, suppliers, vendors and affiliated businesses or organisations.

Extranet: Security

High security and privacy are essential elements of a well-built extranet. Security features may include:
 firewall server management;
 issue and use of digital certificates and user authentication;
 message encryption;
 use of VPNs (virtual private networks) that “tunnel” through the public network.

As more customers and companies, worldwide, are using the internet as their main resource for purchasing products and services, an extranet is an ideal way to realise a bulk revenue stream that would benefit your company.
