What is a Firewall ?A firewall is a system that is designed to prevent
unauthorized access from entering a private network by filtering the information that comes in from the internet.It creates a safety barrier between a private network and the public internet.
♻️ There are 3 basic types of firewalls
• Packet Filters
• Stateful Inspection
• Proxy Server Firewalls
Firewalls can either be
software or hardware, though it's best to have both.
A software firewall is a program installed on each computer and regulates traffic through port numbers and applications, while a
physical firewall is a piece of equipment installed between your network and gateway.
❇️
Benefits:

• It protects data.

• It protects from Trojans.
• A network-based Firewall, like a router, can offer protection to multiple systems, while an OS-based Firewall can protect individual systems.
