Windows Dedicated Server : Cisco Firewall
Security and protection is very important when it comes to dedicated servers. Setting up Windows Dedicated Server Firewall basically refers to devices which allow or deny traffic or any incoming or outgoing connections based upon set of rules. It normally operates within a single network or over various networks in large operations. It prevents any network threats. It’s architecture is to block any vulnerable threats to the main server. On a linux server, we can also configure IPtables or csf firewall through cPanel.
It basically filters packets or units of data transfers basically TCP and UDP traffic. Cisco are known for their firewall appliances which ofcourse compete with other appliances such as Juniper. Some of the linux firewall include Cisco ASA, Coyote Linux etc. Windows Operating Systems offer in-built Firewall, famously known as Windows Firewall. However, we can also configure hardware firewall such as Cisco etc.
Security is a very important concept today and it definitely needs implementation on every dedicated server.
