How Good is Free Software?

How Firewalls Protect Your Business

Almost everyone will have heard about Firewalls on their computers, but many are confused by what they are and the function they perform.


What is a firewall?
In construction, a firewall is a "fire-resistance rated wall assembly intended to slow the spread of fire from one side to the other."

So how does this relate to computers? Well, the idea of the firewall was based on the construction-type of firewall when looking at network security.

In IT, a firewall is a "dedicated appliance, or software running on a computer, which [...] denies or permits passage based on a set of rules/criteria".

Of course we will be talking about firewalls in the IT sense and suggest that you look towards a builder contractor from your local Better Business Bureau should you require any other sort of firewall!
