Extranets are private portals that securely share part of a business’s information with vendors, customers, partners, or other businesses outside the company. An extranet is very secure when handling private data. As much as extranets allow companies to integrate their services and operations with external stakeholders, it always ensures that unauthorized persons outside the company do not gain access to confidential information. Security measures like firewalls and strong passwords are used to protect confidential data from unauthorized access.
An extranet is a private network that uses Internet technology and the public telecommunication system to securely share part of a business's information or operations with suppliers, vendors, partners, customers, or other businesses.
