Firewalls Questions
The role of firewalls in protecting against insider threats is to monitor and control network traffic, both incoming and outgoing, to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information from being compromised or leaked by insiders. Firewalls act as a barrier between the internal network and external networks, filtering and blocking suspicious or malicious activities, including those initiated by insiders. They can also enforce access control policies, restrict certain network services, and detect and alert on any unusual or unauthorized behavior, helping to mitigate the risk of insider threats.
