Unfortunately, a lot of companies have either not configured their firewalls correctly or forgot to keep them updated after they installed them. This may result in firewalls either allowing or blocking the wrong traffic. Having a firewall that is out of date or improperly configured is just as harmful as having none at all.
Firewalls Explained
A firewall is a type of computer security system that prevents unwanted access. Firewalls are an effective technology for keeping your network secure. They block unauthorized or unrecognized traffic from entering or leaving your internal network. Firewalls are often used to ensure that unauthorized users are not able to access private networks.
A firewall blocks unauthorized access. When traffic attempts to enter or leave your internal network, they prevent it if it is unauthorized or unrecognized. However, they need to be properly configured otherwise they may let in malicious traffic or block legitimate traffic.
