A firewall is a software or hardware-based security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic to block unauthorized access. It typically serves as the first line of cyber defense for organizations.
Why It Controls Traffic
Not every connection coming from the internet is safe. A firewall grants access only to traffic that meets defined rules—blocking malware and unauthorized software from entering the system.
Why It’s Indispensable for Corporate Networks
Companies must protect critical data—customer records, business documents, and system information. Firewalls shield that data from leaks and are a core part of meeting compliance requirements.
