A firewall protects your network from hackers

COST SAVINGS  

More and more businesses are using an ADSL (broadband) connection. This allows your network to be constantly connected to the Internet. Without a firewall, this is like leaving your house door wide open. People can just walk right in and take anything they want. These intrusion attempts are fast becoming an everyday issue.

A Trojan Horse is a piece of software that sneaks into your computer system and waits for a date or event. Once this occurs, it can delete system files or open a back door for an intruder to view your sensitive data. Denial of Service attacks can deprive you of your server, e-mail system or your website. They can even destroy computer files and software.

These attacks can waste your company's time and money. The only way to avoid them is to install a firewall. If you don't, it will be only a matter of time before you network is attacked.

Extra benefits of some firewalls include: time limits on Internet access, limiting website access, and stopping sites with certain words from being accessed.
