external networks (such as the internet), monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules.

  • Types of firewalls include Packet Filtering Firewalls, Stateful Inspection Firewalls, and Proxy Firewalls.
  • Firewalls help prevent cyberattacks, hacking attempts, and unauthorized data access.
  • Modern firewalls incorporate Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) for enhanced security.
