Your firewall probably isn’t something you think about often.
It sits in the background, lights blinking quietly, doing what it is supposed to do. At least, that is the assumption.
But here is the real question: is your firewall actively protecting your business, or is it simply present and giving you a false sense of security?
Most business owners rarely review how their firewall is configured. They assume it was set up correctly at some point and has been working ever since. In many cases, however, it is running on basic settings, outdated firmware, or minimal filtering rules that no longer reflect today’s threats.
A firewall is not just a piece of hardware that blocks obvious attacks. When properly configured, it controls who can access your network, filters dangerous web traffic, prevents malicious connections, and helps stop threats before they reach your systems. When poorly configured, it can leave gaps that cybercriminals are more than happy to exploit.
The uncomfortable truth is that many businesses rely on default settings or aging equipment, believing they are covered because “we have a firewall.” Unfortunately, having one and having it properly secured are not the same thing.
Our latest guide explains how modern firewalls and web filtering actually protect your business, where common weaknesses tend to appear, and what practical steps you can take to strengthen your defenses.
