A Firewall is a piece of hardware and/or software which functions in a networked environment to prevent some communications forbidden by the security policy, analogous to the function of firewalls in building construction. A firewall is also called a Border Protection Device (BPD), or packet filter in BSD contexts. A firewall has the basic task of controlling traffic between different zones of trust. |

The Extraordinary Failure of Anti-Virus Technology: Why Whitelisting Succeeds Where AV Has Failed |
|
|
Anti-virus technology fails to prevent computers from virus infections. And because it fails, it inadvertently assists many security woes that plague the computer population. Fortunately, whitelisting technology has emerged in recent years. Whitelisting technology takes a different approach to the malware problem, recording all valid programs and preventing others from executing. Because of this approach, it can be and is used to prevent other ills, such as spyware, adware, unlicensed software or any other kind of unauthorized software. Whitelisting can be applied to device control as well, which prevents the attaching of unauthorized devices to corporate PCs and laptops.
