Network firewalls (hardware) are protective elements against massive cyberattacks. They act as a shield against massive next generation attacks, and they serve as secure gateways, both outgoing and ingoing.
A network firewall controls the flow of information and network traffic to and from your network. This data is known as “packets,” which can contain malicious code that can harm your system. During downtime or peak holiday seasons, hackers or cybercriminals take advantage of this to send malware, spam, viruses, and other malicious threats. At this point, the firewall applies a set of rules to incoming and outgoing network traffic to see if it matches those rules. If the rule matches, the firewall allows the traffic to pass. If not, the firewall rejects or blocks the traffic. In this way, your network remains secure and protected from any threats.
These types of devices are becoming increasingly important as the number of cyberattacks has been rising for many years. In 2019 alone, over €10 billion was invested in maintaining, monitoring, and managing networks against cyberattacks.
