A firewall is a crucial security component that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic, acting as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks. By implementing predefined security rules, firewalls help protect devices and data from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and malicious activities.
