FAQ - Firewall Basics
 What is a network firewall?
In principle, the firewall can be thought of as a pair of mechanisms; one of which purpose is to block traffic, and the other which exists to permit traffic. Depending on the solution you are seeking, some firewalls place a greater emphasis on blocking traffic, while others emphasize permitting traffic. The key purpose of the firewall is to implement an access control policy.
Our consultants can add value to your choices by recommending the best solution for the type of access you want to allow or deny.
How can a firewall protect my company's network?
Firewalls are configured to protect against unauthenticated interactive logins from the "outside" world. This will prevent vandals from logging into machines from within your network. The firewall can protect you against any type of network borne attack by establishing a "choke point" where security and audit can be imposed. Summaries can be provided to the network administrator about what kinds of traffic passed through it, how many attempts there were to break into it, etc.

FAQ - Virus Attacks
Virus attacks - how can they happen?
Firewalls do not completely protect your network from viruses. Because there are many ways of coding binary files for transfer over networks, there are too many architectures to try and search for them all. The best way to combat viruses is to instill security-consciousness on the part of your users.
A data-driven attack can occur within various versions of sendmail, ghostscript and scripting mail users agents such as Microsoft Outlook. In general, a firewall cannot protect your network against attacks in which something is mailed or copied to an internal host where it is then executed.
The competent staff at CompUtopia can blanket your organization with virus protection software - ensuring that every vulnerable desktop has virus-scanning software running when the machine is rebooted. With virus-scanning software, your network will be protected against viruses introduced by floppy disks, modems, and the internet.
