Technology Tips - Firewalls
Whether you are a small business or just a home user, if you have a PC connected to the internet, you need a firewall. If you have Verizon’s services, the modem they provided has a built in firewall service – have you checked this out?
Small Businesses usually have a router, like one from Linksys . Most of these have a firewall as well.
The basic Windows firewall that is part of Windows XP and Vista is only 1 of many steps you need to take to protect your PC and network. For the part time PC/Internet user, Windows Firewall, Windows Defender and some good settings on our ISP’s firewall (Verizon’s Westell Blog) are usually enough.
For a full time user and small business, additional levels of protection are recommended. A Unified Threat Management plan is in order. Need help – visit www.SmallBizWebServices.com.
