In cybersecurity, firewalls control what type of traffic is allowed into or out of a server or network. There are a variety of firewall types designed for specific use-cases and these solutions can come in the form of a dedicated hardware or software appliance, or could be software running within a general purpose operating system.
Discover common network and wireless security threats and mitigations, and how packet filtering firewalls work. Learn to configure a Windows and Linux firewall and work with cloud-based packet filtering in AWS and Microsoft Azure. Finally, discover how proxy servers and network address translation (NAT) work in securing the network.
Upon completion, you'll be able to select and implement the appropriate firewall solution on-premises and in the cloud. This course is part of a collection that prepares you for the CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 certification exam.
