Hi there,

Welcome to my " Fortigate | FORTINET Fortigate Firewall with Lab Exercises " course.

Firewall is essential to Network Security. Learn Fortigate Firewall in practice, protect your network from cyber threats

A firewall is a security system designed to prevent unauthorized access into or out of a computer network. Firewalls are often used to make sure internet users without access are not able to interface with private networks, or intranets, connected to the internet.

A firewall is positioned between a network or a computer and a different network, like the internet. It controls the network traffic coming in and going out of the computer or network. If you do not have a firewall, virtually any data can exit your computer or network, and virtually any individual or program can come in.

Hi there,

Welcome to my " Fortigate | FORTINET Fortigate Firewall with Lab Exercises " course.

Firewall is essential to Network Security. Learn Fortigate Firewall in practice, protect your network from cyber threats

A firewall is a security system designed to prevent unauthorized access into or out of a computer network. Firewalls are often used to make sure internet users without access are not able to interface with private networks, or intranets, connected to the internet.

A firewall is positioned between a network or a computer and a different network, like the internet. It controls the network traffic coming in and going out of the computer or network. If you do not have a firewall, virtually any data can exit your computer or network, and virtually any individual or program can come in.

Basically, a firewall is a cybersecurity solution that protects your computer or network from unwanted traffic coming in or going out. It inspects and authenticates all data packets in network traffic before they are allowed to move to a more secure environment.

Whether a hardware appliance or a software program that is protecting a corporate network or a personal computer, a firewall is essential to network security. For example, depending on where a firewall is installed, it may guard against insider threats in a network segment or act as a barrier against external threats at the network perimeter.

As your organization’s first line of defense, a firewall monitors and filters all network traffic including outgoing traffic, application-layer traffic, online transactions, communications, and connectivity. It blocks incoming threats based on a set of pre-programmed rules that also may dictate which users can access specific network areas.

It protects your network from unauthorized access to mitigate the risk from cyber attacks.

What Is a Firewall?

A firewall is a network security device that monitors traffic to or from your network. It allows or blocks traffic based on a defined set of security rules.

What does a firewall do?

Basically, a firewall is a cybersecurity solution that protects your computer or network from unwanted traffic coming in or going out. It inspects and authenticates all data packets in network traffic before they are allowed to move to a more secure environment.

Why Do You Need a Firewall?

There are many reasons why you need a firewall but in general, without firewalls, computers and devices in your network are easy targets for cyber attacks.

Firewalls protect your network from unauthorized access by hackers who use a variety of tools to gain entry such as viruses, backdoors, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, macros, remote logins, phishing emails, social engineering, and spam. You not only need a firewall to block unauthorized access to your network, but also to block your users from visiting inappropriate websites and downloading malware.

You also need a firewall to identify the signatures of dangerous users, known bad actors, and risky applications especially when securing a vulnerable, private network. A firewall can block outflowing data when it notices a social engineering attack to mitigate the damage. When you need to block specific content in application-layer attacks, such as malware, use your firewall. You need a firewall to help you detect and deter rogue activity throughout your network.

Firewalls can also manage network resources so you can control how much network bandwidth is available for specific data types. In addition, you might need a firewall to provide virtual private network (VPN) services that use data encryption to secure communications across the public internet.

By securing the border between your network and the internet, or between segments of your network and the rest of your environment, firewalls provide essential protection from internal and external threats.

What are the Uses of a Firewall in Networking?

The primary use of a firewall in networking is to secure the network from cyberattacks. For example, a firewall prevents malicious and unwanted content from entering your environment. As well, a firewall protects vulnerable systems and private data in the network from unauthorized access–such as hackers or insiders. Protecting your business transitions, operational, and confidential data from ransomware attacks and leaks is a critical use of a firewall.

In educational institutions, for example, network firewalls can be used to limit access to specific websites and content deemed inappropriate or unsafe for a particular organization’s users–such as K - 12 and higher. And in business, a firewall can keep users from being distracted by online advertising, gaming, fraudulent websites that host malware, or certain social media platforms when using the company’s network.

Protecting the seamless operations of a distributed enterprise is a critical use of firewalls in networking. With a remote and often global workforce accessing corporate networks, applications, and data–in multiple data centers around the world–firewalls are imperative to ensure security across all systems.

Firewalls also safeguard supply chain networks to ensure confidentiality and coordination of goods, services, pricing, and production to secure the value for manufacturer, distributor, seller, and consumer. Whether a firewall takes the form of hardware, software, or web application in the cloud–the use of a firewall is essential to secure networking.
