What is Firewall?

A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. It acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network, such as the internet. Firewalls are commonly used to protect networks from unauthorized access, malicious attacks, and data breaches by blocking or allowing specific network traffic.
