Firewalls are usually seen as a requirement if you are going to attach your network to other networks, especially the Internet. Unfortunately, some network administrators and managers do not understand the strengths a firewall can offer, resulting in poor product choice, deployment, configuration and management. Like any security technology, firewalls are only effective if the implementation is done properly and there is proper maintenance and response to security events.

Additionally, with the proper deployment of firewalls other security strategies are often much easier to integrate, such as VPNs and IDS systems. So what makes firewalls good, and what can you do to ensure they are used properly?

Having a firewall is now mandatory. These are the reasons :

1) For Loss and Manipulation of Data
2) For Business Secrets and Confidential Data
3) Give Protection from the Hijack Networks
4) Loss of Reputation

The advantages of using a firewall is enormous for an organization, which is why it is so much demand. A properly configured firewall will help shield your computer against hackers attacks from outside. A firewall can also log all attempts to access the private network or a personal computer.
