Firewalls White Papers
Guide to Firewall Selection and Policy Recommendations
Overview Firewall technology has improved substantially since it was introduced in the early 1990's, starting with simple packet-filtering firewalls to much larger firewalls capable of examining multiple levels of network activity and content, such as email and attachments that may contain viruses. As the Internet has developed into the modern, complex network of today, Internet security has become more problematic, with break-ins and attacks now so commonplace as to be considered "Part of the neighborhood." Thus, firewall technology is now a standard part of any organization's network security architecture, and even home users on commercial dial-in connections routinely employ personal firewalls.
