A firewall is a critical component of network security that acts as a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks (such as the internet). It monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules, helping to prevent unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches.
Types of Firewalls Packet-Filtering Firewalls Examines packets (IP, port, protocol) and allows or blocks them based on rules. Fast but lacks deep inspection (e.g., ACLs on routers). Stateful Inspection Firewalls Tracks active connections and checks packet context (state). More secure than packet filtering but resource-intensive. Proxy Firewalls (Application-Level Gateways) Acts as an intermediary between users and servers. Inspects application-layer traffic (HTTP, FTP) for security. High security but can introduce latency. Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) Combines traditional firewall features with advanced capabilities: Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) SSL/TLS decryption Application awareness Cloud Firewalls (Firewall-as-a-Service - FWaaS) Hosted in the cloud to protect cloud-based infrastructure. Scalable for distributed networks (e.g., AWS Security Groups, Azure Firewall).
