Types of Firewalls
Packet Filtering Firewalls: Basic firewalls that check data packets against rules to allow or block them. Fast but offer basic security.
Stateful Inspection Firewalls: Track active connections to make more informed decisions, helping to detect attacks like spoofing or session hijacking.
Proxy Firewalls: Act as intermediaries between users and the internet, hiding the internal network and blocking certain content for added privacy.
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs): Combine traditional features with advanced capabilities like application awareness, deep packet inspection, and threat intelligence to defend against modern threats.
Web Application Firewalls (WAFs): Protect web applications by filtering HTTP traffic to defend against attacks like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF.
