Explanation:

Firewall can be defined as a wall or checkpoint that checks each entity before it accesses to go inside or outside a network.

A firewall:

  • makes sure that the data inside a private network is safe by building a wall around it.
  • restricts the malicious data to go inside the network.
  • always ask about launching an application which is blocked by it due to suspicious activity.

A firewall can not:

  • prevent a system from being fingerprinted by port scans.
  • Disable an account.
