I think we care about domains because it’s a major avenue of how all devices are interconnected on private and public networks. A domain should be created by a company to help monitor and identify all the various devices on its network. Company devices may have access to sensitive information so the domain enables administrators to set up all devices in a secure way. Private Domain Server Networks provide a tool in keeping outside public users from accessing company computers through the internet. I think this is less of an issue on a home network because inherently a home network has way less users and devices to track, and internet security through a firewall can suffice vs setting up a private domain. I feel like for a straightforward, and very IT Audit applicable, question this was a little more difficult to answer with confidence than I initially expected. We should go over it in class!
Creating a domain also adds administrative convenience when setting up a large number of PC’s on a companies network. It’s where IT Auditor can assure Password Policies and Access Controls are administered properly to the right individuals across the organization under audit.

I think the reason we need to care about the domain of corporate PCs is that administrators can manage them more easily. The administrator will control the computer and protect company information. Similarly, employees may need to share some documents within the company, for example, they can use a shared drive to get documents. For IT auditors, it’s also important to understand how a company manages its computers and shared drives. For myself, my laptop doesn’t need someone else to control or share drives and document to others, so I don’t have to be on the domain.

Domains stored a company’s resource, and only the company have right to use it. Because many hackers and cybercriminals want to steal company’s resource for the money, protecting domains is very important for a company.
A domain is like a website that allows internet users to access in and use the resource. A company needs domains so that its employees can access same resource to finish their work. But for the personal computers, they are the internet users so they don’t need to be a domain at home.
Domains is a company’s resource. There are many business valuable resource. As a IT auditor, it’s our responsibility to check a client company’s domain is safe or not, and whether its have a good protection to protect company’s resource. For example, if its password system is ok, if company’s users have authentication or authorization for the access control.

We care about domains because its how other computers can be found and seen on a network. It’s okay to not be on a domain at home and not at work because a job will want to see what computers are using their servers. This relates to my future work as an IT Auditor because it demonstrates an understanding how different settings require different standards amongst computer usage. Also, when looking at what computers are on a domain, an IT Auditor may be able to distinguish which computers are from the outside or straight from the company.

Domain provides network administrators with a way to manage and control a large number of PCS. Domains usually consist of computers on the same LAN. Organizations such as companies or schools can manage computers used or provided by the organization through the domain. So at home we don’t need to be on a domain. As an IT auditor, we should focus on computers in every domain in the organization because domains help the organization manage every user in the domain flexibly.
The domain belongs to the company’s work on the network, and the domain can help the company manage the permissions of various accounts.And the domain log can record and monitor account activity.When suspicious activity occurs, the company can quickly identify and resolve the problem.There is no need to use domain at home. We do not need to carry out Segregation of duty at home.Adding a domain name to a company is like installing a camera in the whole company.When IT crimes happen, information can be collected better.In addition, the firewall of the domain can also effectively prevent illegal access.
We care about domains because they are the way that organizations control and secure how users interact with each other and with the rest of the internet. They allow for IT policies and procedures to be enforced on the users and they help to keep unauthorized users from access sensitive information. It is not necessary at home because there are not enough users or resources stored to justify setting one up.
We care about a domain because a domain related to system and management, which is easier and efficiency to assess the system and management of the system. If you have a domain at home, it means that you can assess at home. It is dangerous for the company because other people also can assess in other places based on the weak of security. For an IT auditor, it is important to know the basic IT knowledge on a domain, which helps manage and assess the system.
The idea here is to get to know about the domain, we need it because A domain is a convenience because it allows you to locate resources using a single namespace.NS is the main method to identify hosts on the network. All DNS entries must be in the domain. So, so you need a domain the internal domain and external domain, Even internally, this is very useful. Most companies have only a few externally accessible addresses and many internally accessible addresses.
The domains are important as it can help us to administrate all of the computer under it. It is ok for me to not be on a domain at home as there are not that many devices so that I can configure them all by myself. Also, all of those devices are in my possession and within reach. But for a larger group like companies, it is easier to administrate devices by adding them to the domain so that every device is under company’s control. It is also easier for me as an IT Auditor to audit as I don’t need to audit each individual device.
