    Study Notes

    Domain in Networking

    • A domain refers to a group of users, devices, and resources that share data via a network, managed by a domain controller.

    Types of Domains

    • LAN (Local Area Network) domain: a sub-network of servers and clients controlled by a centralized database.
    • WAN (Wide Area Network) domain: a communications network spanning a large geographic area, connecting multiple LANs.
    • System/Application domain: consists of a business' mission-critical systems, applications, and data.

    Users in Windows

    • Local user: username and password stored on the computer, with permissions and restrictions applied by the computer.
    • Domain user: username and password stored on a domain controller, with privileges assigned by the domain controller.

    Remote Access Domain

    • Enables remote users to access files and system resources from any device, increasing productivity and collaboration.
    • Allows organizations to hire the best talent regardless of location and promotes collaboration between teams.

    Security Threats

    • Unauthorized Physical Access: gaining physical access to sensitive areas without permission, threatening data and system security.
    • Unauthorized Logical Access: gaining access to sensitive data without permission, considered even more dangerous than physical access.
    • System/Application attacks: categorized into denial or destruction, alteration, and disclosure of sensitive information.
