How it works

The firewall is the first, and often unfortunately the only, tool used to protect an IT network. It is currently the most widely-used information security tool, but in most cases it does not do its job properly. In fact, the firewall is not easy to set up and, above all, it is not simply to be set up during installation and then left to its own devices. As its name suggests, a firewall is a wall put up to protect the ports of your network that you do not use and to filter access to those that you do use. Basically, it adopts information transit policies so that it controls access to the network and systems on the basis of its settings. The fact that a firewall is not an intelligent device but simply implements the settings made should not be forgotten. At this point, it is perfectly clear that the set-up procedure is critically important in ensuring that the investment made in the firewall does not turn into a simple waste of money. Even when it has been installed and set up properly, it is a constantly evolving tool, it must be kept in line with updates of the technological platform, the company information structure and above all the vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the security of the software reported day by day. If it is not kept up to date, even a firewall set up perfectly will become ineffective within a month, and will therefore soon become utterly useless.
