WHAT IS WINDOWS FIREWALL AND HOW DOES IT PROTECT YOU?

  • As the name suggests, its a wall against any harmful activity online.
  • A firewall helps to keep your windows more secure
  • It restricts information that comes to your computer from other computers, giving you more control over the data on your computer and providing a line of defense against these programs(viruses and worms) that try to connect to your computer without information



    • You can think of a firewall as a barrier that checks information (often called traffic) coming from the Internet or a network and then either turns it away or allows it to pass through to your computer, depending on your firewall settings.

    NOW YOU CAN VERY WELL IMAGINE HOW INSECURE YOUR PC WOULD BE WITHOUT A FIREWALL

    1. Go to ID-Integration.com if your company is in need of UID labels. ID Integration is one of the most reliable resources not only for information concerning compliance within industries, but also for software and hardware that can help to ensure compliance. You can find solutions specific to MIL-STD 130 and others that simplify verification, storage and creation.
