Walled+Garden


 * __WaLLed GArdeN__ __What is a Walled Garden?__ ** A Walled Garden isn't a real garden that we can see. It's a virtual wall that protects data from being corrupted by people who write or send viruses over the network. It secures a network of computers and prevents unauthorized data from entering.

It controls users access to certain web content. So it not only controls access from unauthorized data coming into the network, it also limits data going out.

** __ How does it work? __ ** It works like our anti-virus works on our computers. Software programs are installed and setup to block access to unauthorized sites. Restrictions are set on the servers/computers so that nobody can see beyond the wall. The wall is like a fence, nobody can trespass beyond it.

**__Why would anyone want to do this?__** To protect there data from being corrupted. To protect personal information from identity theft. To prevent terriorists/enemies from obtaining military secrets.

All companies, the Federal Government, State Government, banks and private businesses,
 * __ Who uses it? __**


 * __ When was the term/concept invented? __**

When the internet was invented in the 1980's. There was some sort of security but there was more trust until the 1990's. This information was hard to find. I can only say that when our country was invaded by acts of enemies, our Government took action to make the network more secured.
