A firewall is a security technology that protects computers and networks from unauthorized access. There are two main types of firewall: network firewall and application firewall.

Network firewall: A network firewall protects a computer or network from unauthorized access by the network. It monitors traffic flows on the network and blocks or filters traffic that is not authorized.

Application firewall: An application firewall protects a specific application from unauthorized access. It monitors traffic flows to and from the application and blocks or filters traffic that is not authorized.
