CYBERSECURITY
Host-Based Firewall Protection
Protect individual computers, servers and other business systems with device-level firewall security designed to control network traffic and reduce unauthorized access.
HOST-BASED SECURITY
Protection at the Device Level
A host-based firewall operates directly on an individual computer, server or other endpoint, monitoring network traffic entering and leaving that specific device. Security rules determine which connections are permitted and which should be blocked.
While a network firewall helps protect the network perimeter, host-based firewalls provide an additional layer of protection directly at the endpoint. This can be especially important for laptops and other devices that may operate outside the traditional business network.
DEVICE-LEVEL PROTECTION
Control Network Access at the Endpoint
Host-based firewalls provide security controls directly on individual devices, helping businesses manage how computers and servers communicate across trusted and untrusted network
Inbound & Outbound Traffic Control
Control network connections entering and leaving individual computers and servers based on defined security policies.
Device-Level Protection
Apply firewall protection directly to endpoints, providing an additional security layer beyond the network perimeter.
Application & Service Control
Restrict network access for applications, services and ports that do not require external or internal connectivity.
Firewall Configuration & Management
Configure and maintain host-based firewall policies to support your organization’s security and operational requirements.
LAYERED SECURITY
Stronger Protection Beyond the Network Perimeter
Network firewalls and host-based firewalls serve different but complementary roles. A network firewall protects traffic moving between networks, while a host-based firewall provides protection directly on the individual device.
Using both as part of a layered cybersecurity strategy can help reduce exposure to unauthorized network activity and provide additional protection for laptops, workstations and servers — particularly devices that may connect to networks outside the office..
