Firewalls White Papers
Guidelines on Firewalls and Firewall Policy
Overview Firewall technology has matured to the extent that today's firewalls can coordinate security with other firewalls and intrusion detection systems. They can scan for viruses and malicious code in electronic mail and web pages. Firewalls are now standard equipment for Internet connections. Home users who connect to commercial Internet service providers via dial-up or via cable/DSL are also using personal firewalls and firewall appliances to secure their connections. Firewalls protect sites from exploitation of inherent vulnerabilities in the TCP/IP protocol suite. Additionally, they help mitigate security problems associated with insecure systems and the problems inherent in providing robust system security for large numbers of computers.
