A firewall is a combination of software and/or hardware that provides a protective barrier between a computer or network, third party systems and the internet. firewalls work by checking all the traffic passing through them, blocking data which does not conform to pre-determined security criteria and allowing everything else through. Firewalls can be set up to block specific sites or type of sites or entire parts of the internet. [] It prevents certain types of information, files, and programs from crossing into or out of the school's computer environment. This is a preventive form of network   security. Firewalls are often used to prohibit teachers or students from downloading free software, submitting certain information online, or opening e-mail attachments. Downloads and e-mail attachments can deliver viruses that can debilitate computer systems. They can also compromise the security of a school network, leaving students' and teachers' personal information like grades, names, addresses, and other private information open to hackers and other illegal entities. They protect your environment, e.g. emails, websites – language and specific ideas could be banned. || blocking || [] Prevents the access of illegal substances online.
