  • They protect against hackers and malicious traffic
  • Especially crucial for large organizations with numerous devices
  • Firewalls work similarly to fire barriers in buildings

Firewall Functionality

  • They use customizable rules to determine access
  • Rules can be based on IP addresses, domain names, protocols, programs, ports, and keywords

  • Provide an example of firewall access control rules
  • Explain the concept of a firewall's 'access control list'

Types of Firewalls

  • Host-based firewalls protect individual computers
  • They are software-based and installed on specific computers
  • Network-based firewalls combine hardware and software
  • They protect entire networks using management rules
  • Network firewalls can be standalone products, integrated with routers, or deployed in cloud infrastructures
  • Many organizations use both host-based and network-based firewalls for maximum protection

Conclusion

  • Firewalls are essential for home and business networks
  • They provide security by filtering incoming network data
  • Different types of firewalls offer specific protection measures
