What is Firewall & VPN Configuration?

Configuring a firewall and virtual private network (VPN) is crucial for protecting corporate networks from online attacks. Firewalls act as gatekeepers by monitoring and filtering incoming and outgoing traffic based on security rules. VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) provide encrypted channels for safe remote access, ensuring privacy and data integrity. When combined, they improve overall network security and make it possible for both individuals and enterprises to communicate securely.
