The small office set up an unmanaged network where each computer connects directly without a central server.

2. A network infrastructure without formal IT management, policies, or security protocols implemented across all connected devices
The startup's unmanaged network created security vulnerabilities that left data exposed.

3. In networking, a switch or router that cannot be configured or monitored remotely and operates with fixed default settings

This term is predominantly used in IT and technology sectors in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazilian companies, there's a growing emphasis on managed networks due to LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) compliance requirements, making unmanaged networks increasingly discouraged in professional settings. In the USA, unmanaged networks are still common in small businesses and home offices to reduce costs, though cybersecurity awareness has increased concerns about this practice.
