Firewall - Gateway, Distributed and Personal Firewalls
Firewall protection is an essential component of the layered security solution for computers, networks and Internet security. Our customers use three common types of firewalls.
GATEWAY FIREWALL:
Used to protect multiple computers at the Gateway (Internet Connection). Gateway firewalls are required to protect business networks from Internet based attacks and are usually hardware based. Gateway firewalls can provide protection from port scans, IP based attacks, spoofing, unauthorized access and denial of service attacks. We recommend the SONICWALL line of Gateway Firewalls for this application.
PERSONAL FIREWALL:
Multiple uses and applications. Our consumer customers use a personal firewall to protect computers from a variety of threats. These include Internet based attacks, and from malicious code on the machine attempting to launch other applications. Personal Firewalls vary in protection, skill level and cost. We recommend OUTPOST PRO for personal firewall protection.
DISTRIBUTED FIREWALL:
Used to protect multiple machines from a central location. A distributed firewall provides an additional layer of security to the Gateway firewall by deploying a managed solution. Popular in networks where security is at higher levels, essentially this is a personal firewall distributed by a central management console across local area networks. We recommend the OUTPOST OFFICE FIREWALL for network based distributed firewall protection.
FIREWALL SUMMARY:
It is critical to use a firewall of some kind to protect every machine. Attacks and malicious code are always on the rise. With skilled computer users getting younger every year, the user base grows as does the number of threats. Firewall protection is a required component of the Layered Security Solution.
