What are the 7 Domains of a Typical IT Infrastructure?
A typical IT Infrastructure consists of seven domains, which include: user domain, workstation domain, LAN domain, LAN-to-WAN domain, remote access domain, WAN domain, and system/application domain.
These domains are important for businesses to protect because they can each be seen as access points for attackers to get access to your private data. It only takes one unprotected or failed domain for attackers to get in, making a solidly designed infrastructure vital to an organization’s privacy and security.
