Network Firewall

Definition

A firewall is a network security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined rules. Traditional stateful firewalls track connection state and allow or block traffic based on IP addresses, ports, and protocols.

Firewalls form the foundational perimeter control in network security architectures, though zero trust architectures reduce reliance on perimeter models.
