private

A private network is a network that is accessible only by a specific group of people or organizations. It is typically used to share resources and exchange information among a closed group of users, such as employees of a company, students and staff of a school, or members of an organization. Private networks are usually protected by security measures such as firewalls, passwords, and encryption to ensure that unauthorized users cannot access the network or the information it contains. Examples of private network include intranet, VPN (Virtual Private Network), and LAN (Local Area Network) used in a company or organization.
