Firewall Overview:
Do I really need a Firewall?
Yes, every public internet connection
and some internal connections should be equipped with a firewall.
A good firewall is the first line of defense against digital threats.
Did you know that the very instant you turn on any internet connection it is immediately
being scanned for security holes by networks all over the world?
Hundreds of new security threats
emerge every day. Some of them variations of well known threats, others are completely
new with no protection; any one of these could potentially impact your business
causing hours, days or weeks of downtime and sometimes simply putting a company
right out of business. Maintaining a comprehensive security model is your best defense
against these unknowns.
Choices...Choices...
There are all kinds of firewall devices out there
hardware and software based how's a network admin to choose?
As you probably already know the Microsoft Windows operating system now includes
a software firewall turned on by default.
If you do even a little bit of research you'll soon find out that the windows firewall
while helpful isn't enough protection for business.
