What is a Firewall?
A firewall is a critical piece of cyber security which protects your private network from attack. This security type offers intrusion prevention, stopping malicious attackers from accessing your private network.
How can a firewall safeguard your business?
A firewall stops unauthorised traffic from infiltrating your network by setting a border between your private network and the external network.
Each data packet entering or exiting your network is scanned and checked against the pre-configured rules. Once the inspection is over, the firewall distinguishes the malicious and safe content.
A firewall can protect your organisation’s data, but it isn’t enough on its own. This form of cyber security is good and often a popular option for smaller organisations, but it’s worth exploring a range of security options to see if you’re missing out.
