What is Firewall?

Firewall refers to the concept of a security interface or gateway between a closed system or network and the outside Internet that blocks or manages communications in and out of the system. The security may be provided by passwords, authentication techniques, software, and hardware. A network firewall only allows authorized traffic from the Internet to flow in and out of the network.
