Who Needs Firewall Protection?
Overview If your company uses the Internet, chances are that you need a firewall. Fast becoming the most popular form of electronic communication, the Internet brings the entire world to your door. Information security experts suggest that you invest in some method of network security, so you can make sure that it is opportunity knocking at that door, and not a cyber criminal in disguise. A firewall is the most important line of defense between a company’s network and the outside world. It serves as a buffer between an organization’s internal network (Intranet) and external networks (Internet). Just as Internet use by businesses has escalated sharply in recent years, so too has the occurrence of network security breaches. Firewalls can provide protection for classified information by using different types of application proxies, which are designed to check every connection that crosses the firewall. Many firewall appliances also offer email filtering, web site filtering, security scanning services, and real-time alerting when a breach is attempted.
