AI overview

An intranet is a private computer network that organizations use internally to share information, communicate with employees, collaborate on projects, and access work systems—all kept separate from the public internet. It uses the same technology as the public internet but is restricted to members of a specific organization, making it a secure way to manage internal operations and resources.

An organization-wide intranet can constitute an important focal point of internal communication and collaboration, and provide a single starting point to access internal and external resources. In its simplest form, an intranet is established with the technologies for local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). Many modern intranets have search engines, user profiles, blogs, mobile apps with notifications, and events planning within their infrastructure.
