BRIEF ABOUT TOPICS
A firewall is a network security system, either hardware- or software-based,
that controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on a set
of rules. Acting as a barrier between a trusted network and other
untrusted networks, such as the Internet or less-trusted networks.
A firewall controls access to the resources of a network through a
positive control model. This means that the only traffic allowed onto
the network defined in the firewall policy is, all other traffic is
denied. Thus it protects (an internal network or system) from unauthorized
access.
