Secure Employee Portal for Work Access | CompTIA IT Fundamentals Exam

B.

The type of application that the business would like to create is an Intranet application.

An intranet is a private network that is only accessible to an organization's employees, typically through their work computers while they are physically located within the company's network. An intranet application is a web-based software application that is built and deployed on an organization's intranet. Intranet applications are used to provide internal services and tools to employees, such as HR portals, document sharing, and collaboration tools.

In this scenario, the employee portal is an intranet application, as it is intended to be accessed only by employees while they are physically located within the company's network. The requirement that employees should not be able to access the portal from home without a VPN connection confirms that the portal is only intended for use within the company's network.

The other answer options are not relevant to this scenario:

• A local application is an application that is installed and runs on a single computer or device, and does not require a network connection. This is not the type of application being described in the scenario.

• An extranet application is a web-based software application that is made available to external partners or customers, but still requires authentication to access. This is not the type of application being described in the scenario, as the portal is intended only for internal employees.

• An internet application is a web-based software application that is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, without the need for authentication or a VPN connection. This is not the type of application being described in the scenario, as the portal is only intended for internal employees.
