Secure your business with firewalls
In a world where cyber-attacks are on the increase, Belgian companies can no longer afford to neglect cybersecurity. A firewall is one of the most essential tools for protecting your network against external threats, acting as a first line of defense.
Whether you're an SME or a large enterprise, the right firewall is essential to ensure the security of your data, compliance with regulations such as RGPD and continuity of your operations.
What is a firewall and how does it work?
A firewall is a security barrier that protects internal networks from external threats by :
- Filtering network traffic : The firewall monitors and controls incoming and outgoing connections according to predefined rules.
- Blocking unauthorized access : It prevents users or malware from accessing your network.
- Monitoring suspicious activity : It detects and reports intrusion attempts or abnormal behavior.
Modern firewalls also offer advanced features such as intrusion prevention (IDS/IPS), application management and real-time threat detection.
The different types of firewall
- Hardware firewall :
- A physical device installed between your internal network and the Internet.
- Ideal for large companies or complex networks.
- Software firewall :
- An application installed on a computer or server.
- Suitable for small businesses or specific environments.
- Cloud firewall :
- A cloud-based solution offering flexible, scalable protection.
- Perfect for companies using cloud services.
- Next-generation firewall (NGFW) :
- Combines traditional features with advanced technologies, such as deep packet analysis.
- Ideal for companies with complex security requirements.
Why is a firewall essential to your business?
- Protection against cyber attacks :
A firewall blocks intrusion attempts, reducing the risk of data theft or ransomware. - Regulatory compliance :
In Belgium, companies must comply with the RGPD, which includes implementing robust security measures. - Preventing business interruptions :
Cyber attacks can lead to costly downtime. A firewall limits these risks. - Access control :
Firewalls restrict access to your network to authorized users only. - Simplified management :
With a centralized firewall, you can effectively monitor and manage your network security.
Common firewall management errors
- Incorrectly configured firewall : Incorrect configuration can leave gaps in your security.
- No updates : Outdated firewalls can't protect against new threats.
- Lack of surveillance : An effective firewall requires constant monitoring.
- Underestimation of needs : Using a basic firewall for a complex network may not be enough.
