High-speed internet access using cable TV lines.

High-speed internet over phone lines. Asymmetrical DSL means faster downloads than uploads.

Internet access through a cell phone network.

Internet access using a satellite dish. Useful in remote areas.

Slow internet access using a standard phone line.

Reserved network circuits for dedicated business internet, often expensive.

Extending LAN technology to the internet.

A type of DSL connection designed for businesses, offering symmetrical speeds.

A device that sends or receives data on a network, like a computer or phone.

A device that connects devices on a network, routing and managing data, like a router or switch.

A network that covers a small geographic area, like a home or office.

A network that spans a large geographic area, connecting LANs together.

The physical pathway for data transmission, including cables and wireless signals.

Network cables that transmit data as electrical signals.

Network cables that transmit data as light signals, often faster and more secure than metallic cables.

Applications used over a network, for example, email hosting.

Employees using personal devices for work on a network.

Working together on a project with others, usually through technology.

Using video to talk to people remotely.

Using servers on the internet to store and access data.

A significant development or change widely adopted internationally.

Risks associated with using personal devices for work.

The interconnection of everyday objects (smart devices) enabling them to collect and exchange data, creating an intelligent network of physical things.

Improved efficiency, accuracy, and economic benefit through automation and reduced human intervention. It also brings new security challenges.

The ability of a network to withstand failures and minimize their impact on users, with swift recovery.

The capacity of a network to expand quickly to accommodate new users and applications without compromising performance for existing users.

A mechanism to prioritize different types of network traffic according to their importance, like voice or video, ensuring reliable delivery.

Occurs when simultaneous communications exceed network bandwidth, causing delays and performance issues.

Protecting the physical network devices and infrastructure from unauthorized access or damage.

Protecting the data transmitted over the network from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.

Security risks originating from within the network, often caused by employees or compromised devices. Examples include accidental misuse, lost devices, and malicious insiders.

Security risks originating from outside the network, often exploiting vulnerabilities in systems or devices. Examples include viruses, spyware, and denial of service attacks.

An attack that exploits a newly discovered vulnerability before a patch or fix is available, making it difficult to defend against.

A security measure that examines incoming and outgoing network traffic, blocking unauthorized access and preventing malicious data from entering the network.

A security system that identifies and blocks malicious network activity in real-time, preventing attacks from reaching their target.

A secure connection over a public network, encrypting traffic and creating a private tunnel for secure communication.

The way devices are interconnected and communicate on a network, focusing on the connections and relationships between them.

The actual physical arrangement of devices and cables in a network, showing their physical locations and connections.

Defines how network data travels between devices, including communication protocols and data transfer methods.

A network structure where all devices connect to a central device like a hub or switch.

Multiple star topologies connected together through additional switches, creating a larger network.

A network where all devices are connected in a single line, sharing the same communication channel.

A network where devices are connected in a closed loop, with data circulating in one direction.

A simple topology where two devices have a dedicated connection, creating a direct link.

A central site connects to multiple branch sites with individual, point-to-point links.
