Networking in person allows people to build a network of connected individuals that will enable them to succeed in a specific field. Networking within the office takes the same principle. It applies it digitally, so information and communication are easily connected and shared between people within the company and beyond through email and Internet access.

What is networking today? 

Computer networking enables the sharing of resources and information across multiple devices within a business or an organization. It involves a system of interconnected devices that communicate using standard protocols, ensuring that data is transferred seamlessly between computers, servers, and other network devices. 

Modern networking relies on various technologies such as wired connections (e.g., Ethernet), wireless communication (Wi-Fi), and specialized devices like routers and switches. These technologies work together to form the backbone of communication within organizations, allowing users to share files, access the internet, and collaborate efficiently. 

In addition to the physical hardware, networking also involves important protocols that ensure secure and reliable communication. IT professionals must be familiar with security measures and encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive data and maintain the integrity of the network. 

Understanding these key concepts in networking is essential for setting up, maintaining, and troubleshooting a company's infrastructure, ensuring smooth operations across all digital platforms. 

In today's Internet-driven world, companies simply cannot compete without a protected, efficient network designed to serve the specific tasks and needs of the business.
