Answer to Question 1

Firewall is a technical control in an organization that inspects incoming and outgoing traffic and either blocks or permits it according to rules the organization establishes. The firewall can be a hardware device or a software program, and its rules regulate traffic based on different levels of trust. The rules might state that any other server in the same domain is trustworthy, so traffic would pass easily between them. External traffic from the Internet, however, would need different rules. These systems also include features to detect suspicious events and alert managers immediately.
