Walled garden

Environment allowing access only to known-good sites

A walled garden is a form of whitelisting applied to the internet - rather than blocking known-bad sites users within a network are only granted access to a restricted list of trusted sites.

Walled gardens severely restrict the value of the internet, and thus are only in use in fairly high-security networks.
