Definition of Firewall
A firewall is a network security tool, which can be hardware or software, situated between a company's internal network and the public internet to protect the network from external intrusions.
Firewalls work by guarding traffic at a device's entry point where information is exchanged with external devices. Based on preset rules, firewalls analyze incoming traffic and then filter out traffic that comes from an unsecure or suspicious source to prevent an attack.
