Data in Motion (Data in Transit) Data that is currently traveling across a network Data in transit is defined[according to whom?] Into two categories, information that flows over the public or untrusted network such as the Internet and data that flows in the confines of a private network such as a corporate or enterprise Local Area Network (LAN).[1] Data in transit is used as a complement to the terms data in use, and data at rest which together define the three states of digital data.
Alternative definitions[edit] Data in transit is also referred to as data in motion,[2] and data in flight.[3] References[edit]
