Firewalls

What is a firewall?
A firewall is a network security appliance that monitors computer data traffic. It decides whether each packet is allowed or blocked based on a defined set of profiles. Many firewalls offer additional functionality such as content filtering, spoof defence, and DoS defence.

The best firewall for business offers robust configuration tools and multiple ways to update the rules and monitor its performance - usually measured in megabits per second (Mb/s) and should exceed the Internet connection speed available. A managed firewall also comes with 24/7 monitoring such as syslog and alerting mechanisms including email notifications.

Currently, all DrayTek UK routers allow users to configure firewall settings that can help with network protection.
