Firewall Protection at Techguru247 :

Connecting a computer to the Internet can expose private and    confidential information to malicious attack from anywhere in the world. Users who use the internet must be aware of these threats, their implications and how to protect their data and their critical systems. Firewalls protect individual computers and corporate networks as well from hostile intrusion from the Internet.

Computer firewall gives protection to your computer by putting up a barrier to keep anyone from accessing your files when you are surfing the Internet. It can be implemented as software, hardware or both. It examines each packet of data entering or leaving the intranet and blocks those that do not meet the predefined security criteria.

A hacker may get access to your personal files and maliciously retrieve the confidential information, thus stealing your identity or charge items like your credit card numbers bank account number.

Firewall is an important part of security program but it is not a security program in and of itself. It only addresses the issues of data integrity, confidentiality and authentication of data that is behind it. Any information that is transmitted outside it is subjected to factors out of its control. It acts as a barrier that checks all information as traffic which is coming from the Internet or from some different network. It either turns traffic away or passes it through to your computer, depending on your its settings. It is therefore necessary for any organization to have a well planned and properly implemented security program that includes but is not limited to firewall protection.

Who needs Firewall protection?

Anyone whose computer is connected to the internet needs PC security. Some users believe that they will be protected by anonymity and no malicious intruder would break into their computers. Dial up users who have been victims of malicious threats and who have lost days of work, having to reinstall their operating system, know that this is not true. Irresponsible pranksters can use automated robots to scan random IP addresses and attack whenever they get an opportunity.
