Firewalls: Your First Line of Defense
Category: Security
Tags: hackers, firewall, network security, network
Overview The precise origin of the term firewall is long lost, but the consensus is the term originated in the mid 1800s to describe a special fire resistant wall used to section off warehouses and slow the spread of fires. Firewalls exist to this day in airplanes, cars, ships, and network security. In network security a firewall is a system designed to electronically separate "Us", (the employees, suppliers, and customers), from "Them", (hackers, spies and others who would misuse the computer resources or information).
