7.5 Firewall

Originally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of

fire from one room to another. The networking term firewall is a system or group of systems that

enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism

used to protect a trusted network from an untrusted network. Of course, firewalls cannot solve all of

the security problems. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security

perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method

employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This

requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific policies

must be implemented within the firewall itself.
