Cloud computing offers tools, security, and software to boost goals, requiring companies to migrate systems to the cloud for benefits.

The Point to Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link layer communications protocol used to establish a direct connection between two nodes. While PPP itself does not provide encryption, it can be used in conjunction with security protocols to ensure secure communication.

Network protocols, like HTTP, TCP/IP, and DNS form the backbone of internet communication, ensuring data is transmitted and received reliably. Protocols including SMTP, POP3, FTP, and SSH are essential for secure and efficient email exchange, file transfers, and remote server management.

Network protocols ensure data is transmitted securely, and reliably across networks, providing a common language for devices to communicate. Despite their importance, network protocols face challenges such as ensuring compatibility with new technologies, maintaining security in the face of evolving threats, and adapting to the demands of IoT devices.
