A network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
A type of firewall that examines packets of data as they pass through a network and filters them based on predefined rules.
A firewall that acts as an intermediary between internal and external networks, intercepting and filtering network traffic.
A firewall that monitors the state of network connections and inspects packets at the application layer to ensure they are legitimate.

A comprehensive security solution that integrates multiple security features, including firewall, antivirus, intrusion detection, and virtual private network (VPN) capabilities.
A security system that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and alerts administrators of potential security breaches.
A security system that not only detects suspicious activity but also takes action to prevent potential security breaches.
A set of rules that determines what network traffic is allowed or denied based on criteria such as source IP address, destination IP address, and port number.
A separate network segment that sits between an internal network and an external network, providing an additional layer of security.
A technique that allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address, providing an additional layer of security.
A secure connection between two or more networks over a public network, such as the internet, providing secure remote access and data transfer.
