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.
