Private Network

Definitions

1. A network that is not directly exposed to the public internet and is intended for internal or restricted communication. A private network is not automatically secure, but it reduces direct exposure and can support stronger access control and segmentation.

   In plain English: A non-public network meant for internal or restricted use.

   Example: "The database lived on a private network reachable only through the application tier and a monitored admin path."
