An intranet is a private network used by a single organization or office location. They typically have outgoing internet connectivity but internal resources aren't accessible from the internet due to security controls such as firewall rules.

This can be viewed either from a network perspective or from a functional perspective such as an internal website. As such, some firms refer to a particular internal website as "the intranet." In most cases, this refers to a content management system that is used internally to publish documents and web pages.

As such, calling one internal website the intranet is analogous to calling one external website the internet. An intranet is a network.
