Network routers connect your business to networks and when most people think of firewalls, they think of a wall of protection that can stop viruses, malware, and hackers. Firewalls are meant to protect your business from untrusted networks but only if they are setup correctly.
To keep your network safe from malware, viruses and hackers you will need something more than just a basic router. A network firewall is a means to prevent intrusion into your computer network and to control traffic entering, leaving and traversing your network. Network firewalls can also be used to create different networks within an organisation such as internal, external and demilitarised zones (places where web facing services reside whilst limiting internal network exposure).
Hardware firewall routers offer extra protection to keep your company's data safe.
For simple network address translation or a rules-based firewall solution, we would recommend DrayTek Firewalls. Sophos XG firewalls are our solution of choice for situations which require a rules-based approach across more advanced applications.
