So, what is a firewall?

A firewall is a network security device that acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network (such as your home or business LAN) and untrusted external networks across the Internet. It monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules and its primary purpose is to establish a security perimeter that protects sensitive data and resources from unauthorized access and cyber threats. Firewalls can be implemented in various forms to provide information security, including -

  • Hardware firewalls
    • these are standalone devices typically deployed at the network perimeter to filter traffic before it reaches the internal network. Audra is one such hardware firewall solution designed for optimal information security.
  • Software firewalls
    • many home users will be more familiar with this approach than hardware-based options - applications installed on individual computers or servers to monitor and control network traffic at the operating system level.
  • Cloud-based firewalls
    • virtual firewalls hosted in the cloud, offering scalable security solutions for modern distributed networks. By inspecting packets of data as they pass through, firewalls can enforce security policies, block malicious traffic, and prevent unauthorised access attempts. They are essential components of any comprehensive network security strategy, helping safeguard digital assets and maintain regulatory compliance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why do I need cyber security in the form of a hardware firewall?
    • If you protect your whole network at its gateway, then each and every device will benefit from the same level of resolute guardianship, without the need to install separate software-level protection on each machine. Some devices such as smart TVs on which you can browse the web are hard to protect from a software perspective, so a hardware solution adds peace of mind across the home or business, holistically.
  • How can I protect myself or my business from a cyber attack?
    • There are many precautions that you can take such as taking care as what links you click, installing antivirus on your computer or phone and using strong passwords. The ultimate barrier for your home or business though, is a hardware firewall that can protect the exit and entry point of your local network to the wider web.
  • What are different types of internet security threat?
    • Your home or business can be compromised by many different types of threat, such as phishing, DDoS, ransomware, trojans and malware. A hardware firewall such as Audra, can guard against all these types of issue, as well as provide internet usage management functionality on top.
