AA password printed in the employee handbook
BA separate physical cable for each employee
CA rule that only managers may log in to it
DA firewall standing between it and outsiders
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A firewall standing between it and outsiders
1. Intranets are essentially mini internets that serve only the employees of a company.
2. They operate behind a firewall that prevents unauthorized access.
3. Employees navigate using a standard web browser, which makes the intranet easy to use.
4. Handbook passwords and manager-only rules are not what stands between the intranet and outsiders.
