Effectiveness of Forensic Firewall in Protection of Devices from Cyberattacks

Abstract

Computers and networks serve a host of functions. As they provide the much-needed services, unscrupulous parties also make work difficult by promoting cyberattacks that could lead to sensitive data loss and inability to access a personal computer. The submission explores the use of firewalls in protecting users against network-driven attacks. Firewalls intercept malware attacks, phishing, and identity theft by denying access to certain suspicious sites. However, users must realize that some hardware firewalls cannot protect them from certain web attacks and software firewalls that are in-built fail to detect malicious attacks on some occasions. Therefore, some entities are forced to incorporate both hardware and software to get the desired level of protection. Using an experimental research method, the study explores the effectiveness of firewall protection by presenting more gains that demerits.
