Programs that help nonprofit organizations, small businesses and other groups evaluate their options and select a firewall solution that suits their needs. A firewall is a system implemented in hardware, software or both that prevents unauthorized access to or from a private network by examining messages and rejecting those that do not meet specified criteria. Options include packet filters which examine each packet of information entering or leaving the network, application gateways that guard specific applications, circuit level gateways which are activated when specific types of connections are made, and proxy servers which intercept all messages entering and leaving the network.
