A firewall is a network security device or software that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. It acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks (like the internet), helping to prevent unauthorized access while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through. Firewalls can be hardware-based, software-based, or a combination of both.
