PERSONAL FIREWALL
A personal firewall is a security tool that detects and protects a personal
computer and its data from unauthorized intrusions

• A personal firewall is a software resource

that controls network traffic to and from a
single computer.
• This is a common part of consumer
computing security software, and something
that may be sold along with individual anti-
virus applications and other security
programs for a single personal computer.
• Figure 4-24 This personal firewall
detected a threat to the computer
and
• provided a means to remove the

PERSONAL FIREWALL
What are the approaches of the Personal Firewall?
There are two different approaches to a firewall concept:
Passive packet filter with port
and protocol filter
•A packet filter (TCP / IP) controls the
source and destination IP as well as the
associated port numbers (TCP).
•In addition to the filter function, the
logging of rejected packets is essential
for later analyzes.
SECURITY TOOLS
Active gateway (proxy) with a
virus scanner and content
filter
•The Active gateway is a proxy that
temporarily stores the data packets of
the Internet services (HTTP, FTP, …).
•It enables the content-related filtering of
the data. For a LAN with a lot of email
traffic, a virus check for emails
particularly recommended.

What Antivirus Program?

An antivirus program protects a

computer against viruses by

memory, media, and incoming email messages
and attachments for viruses and attempts to
remove any viruses it finds.
