The vital role firewalls play in network security grows in parallel with the constant increase in 'cyber' attacks for the purpose of stealing/corrupting data, planting viruses, etc.

NETWORK SECURITY

Network security is the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network administrator.
