In respect to this, how secure is LAN and WAN?

LAN vs. WAN. LAN, which stands for local area network, and WAN, which stands for wide area network, are two types of networks that allow for interconnectivity between computers. LANs are typically faster and more secure than WANs, but WANs enable more widespread connectivity.

Secondly, what are some of the issues with the current networks acting as wide area networks WAN )? These are the four biggest issues you're likely to face with your WAN:

• Specific application problems. You might experience issues with certain apps misfiring or performing poorly on your WAN.
• Insufficient bandwidth. Low or insufficient bandwidth is another common problem for WANs.
• Network reliability.
• Network security.

Simply so, why LAN is more secure than Wan in security attack?

Security wise, LAN can be more secure due to the fact that all the computers are within a specific area and are physically easier to secure. The data on a wide area network needs to pass across public phone lines in order to reach its intended destination.

What is WAN network with examples?

WAN-Wide Area Network Example A network of bank cash dispensers is a WAN. A school network is usually a LAN. LANs are often connected to WANs, for example a school network could be connected to the Internet. WANs can be connected together using the Internet, leased lines or satellite links.
