FAQ’s
How does a firewall protect data?
A firewall serves as a barrier between your network and the internet, monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. It protects your data by blocking unauthorized access while allowing legitimate communication to pass through.
By examining data packets, firewalls ensure that harmful traffic, such as malware or unauthorized access attempts, are identified and stopped before they can breach your system.
If you’re unsure about setting up effective firewall rules, reach out to Homefield IT. Our experts are adept at configuring firewalls to maximize your data protection.
What does managed cloud services include?
There are several types of firewalls based on their structure and functionality: packet-filtering firewalls, stateful inspection firewalls, proxy firewalls, and next-generation firewalls (NGFWs).
Each type offers different levels of security control and operates at various layers of the OSI model. Understanding which type best fits your business requirements can be complex.
Do I need a managed firewall?
Yes, especially if you lack the in-house expertise or resources to continuously monitor and maintain your firewall. A managed firewall service guarantees that your firewall is not only up-to-date with the latest security patches but also optimally configured to defend against evolving threats.
Homefield IT offers comprehensive managed firewall services that include 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and rapid threat response, ensuring your network remains secure without the need for constant internal oversight.
Do I need a firewall on a private network?
Yes. Even private networks are susceptible to internal threats and malware that can spread from device to device. A firewall helps segment the network and control traffic flow, limiting the spread of infections and enhancing your overall security posture.

Can firewalls prevent DDoS attacks?
While firewalls are not a standalone solution for DDoS protection, they are part of a layered defense strategy. Modern, next-generation firewalls can mitigate smaller-scale DDoS attacks by setting rate limiting and traffic blocking rules. However, for comprehensive protection, additional DDoS mitigation services are recommended.
