Firewalls and the Internet

The mechanism that safeguards a business' connection between it and the Internet is known as a "firewall". A firewall is a combination of hardware and software which is situated between a company's access point and the connection to the Internet. It is designed to allow your business to access the Internet while protecting the companies resources from unauthorized, prying eyes.

The TLAsecurity Firewall Design

A firewall is set-up to achieve three basic goals:

• 1. Defending against known forms of attack.
• 2. Preventing a security breach from a single attack on the firewall.
• 3. Monitoring all unusual occurances within the firewall.

This strategy makes the firewall exceptionally difficult to breach and almost guarantees that an attempt on the firewall will be detected.
