In the past, networks were closed environments, insulated from each other and accessible only on internal segments. Over time, a need developed to share information between these networks, and connections were established to transmit data from network to network. The transmission of this information was originally insecure, however, and, if intercepted, could easily be read by unauthorized persons. The need to secure this information was subsequently made a priority, and became a critical component of network infrastructure.
