FAQ
What is the role of a firewall in cybersecurity?
A firewall provides a boundary between an organization’s internal network and the rest of the internet. Firewalls regulate all traffic coming into or going out of their organizations’ networks, validating access to traffic that satisfies their respective security policies while blocking traffic that doesn’t (like malware or hacking attempts).
What are the advantages/disadvantages of a cloud firewall?
The decentralized nature of a cloud-based firewall means it can be managed from anywhere, as long as there’s a device with a browser and internet access. This also makes cloud-based firewalls less vulnerable to physical breaching attempts. Some businesses may be reluctant to pay subscription fees for cloud-based firewall services, but these are often competitive in comparison to the upkeep costs of managing an effective local firewall.
How do companies benefit from managed firewalls?
Managed firewalls provide numerous benefits, including: remote access, 24/7 monitoring & admin, sophisticated antivirus technology, consistent and automatic reports, and support with troubleshooting or compliance issues.
What are the impacts of a firewall in network security?
When set up in accordance with an organization’s security policy, firewalls successfully prevent unwanted traffic and let normal traffic through. However, errors in a firewall can allow dangerous traffic while blocking traffic necessary for your organization to operate properly. This is why you need to be extremely careful about setting up local firewalls—or hire us to provide you with an expertly-managed solution.
What are the basic objectives of firewalling a network?
Firewalls basically exist to keep the traffic you want flowing in and out of your organization’s website (like business transactions and communications) while blocking the traffic you don’t want (like viruses, other hacking attempts, or access by staff members to inappropriate content while using your network). Firewalls make your organization more efficient and secure, insulating them from scandal and theft and improving profitability as a result.
