Abstract

Discusses the business vulnerabilities when using the Internet. Focuses on the logical barriers required to minimize these exposures. Explains why protection is required and discusses the role of firewalls as a “fire‐resistant” rather than “fire‐proof” security device. Illustrates a range of best practice firewalls and includes a collection of recent press clippings to give weight and interest to the discussion.
