Private Network
A private network restricts direct public access to resources using private addressing, routing, and access controls. Private connectivity does not by itself establish application identity or eliminate the need for authentication and authorization.
Why it matters
Private reachability can connect CI to internal services without exposing them directly to the internet.
Practical example
Connect CI to an internal test database through an approved private route and scoped credentials.
