Difference Between Internet

Internet is a global public network accessible to all, while an intranet is a private internal network within an organization. An extranet allows restricted external access to an organization's intranet, enabling information sharing with suppliers and vendors via public networks. It connects an organization to selected external stakeholders through a controlled access via firewall security.
