Answer:

NAT provides some security but allows a firm to have more internal IP addresses

Step-by-step explanation:

NAT ( network address translation) this is a process where a network system usually a firewall assigns a public IP address to an internal computer used in a private network. it limits the number of public IP address a company operating a private network for its computer can have and this is very economical also limits the exposure of the company's private network of computers. the computers can access information within the private network using multiple IP addresses but it is safer to access external information using one public IP address
