Firewalls

The firewall will build a wall of protection between the trusted network and untrusted networks and monitor or filter network traffic from both upstream and downstream. It inhibits unauthorized access, blocks malware, and defends the network from DDoS attacks. You can trust the ServerBasket firewall to protect your network with advanced packet filtering and deep packet inspection.

Yes, it is important to differentiate between different types of possible firewalls, which include traditional, hardware, software, cloud, hybrid, web application, and next-generation firewalls. Every type of firewall provides diverse levels of protection and performance without compromising scalability. A firewall selected for your particular network ensures that you get the maximum performance and protection you need to keep your network secure.

Firewalls are security devices that analyze data packets based on security rules, protocols, and threat intelligence. They evaluate source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, and predefined security policies that permit or deny traffic. The Firewalls deployed by ServerBasket utilize deeper packet inspection and enable communication that is legitimate while blocking potential cyber threats.

Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) integrate advanced capabilities, in addition to providing the traditional security features, such as deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, application identification, SSL inspection, and threat intelligence. NGFWs protect organizations from evolving cyber threats with a proactive and intelligent approach to improve threat detection, real-time monitoring, and provide AI security without compromising performance on varying network infrastructures.

A firewall device is a hardware appliance, mostly built into a router, that provides security functionality, generally recommended for enterprise-level security, while a firewall app is software-based protection deployed on individual devices, providing security functionality for an endpoint. ServerBasket has a wide range of firewall appliances and software that will provide flexibility for deployment in any size or complexity of network.

A stateful firewall tracks session states of all active connections to determine if packets are being passed in a valid sequence for an active connection. A stateless firewall only looks at the static rule without context. ServerBasket’s stateful firewalls provide better security via dynamic traffic filtering, by maintaining their consistency, and providing advanced protection against potentially harmful connections.

Yes, even with an antivirus software, you need a firewall as an antivirus detects and removes malware, but firewalls prevent unauthorized traffic from accessing your systems and block malicious traffic at the perimeter of your network. Antivirus in conjunction with a firewall delivers double protection against cyber threats, data breaches, and unauthorized intrusions, which provides multiple layers of protection for your data and applications.
