Firewall and Routers | Episode 6 of Getting to grips with Cyber Essentials series

Our final instalment of our Getting to grips with Cyber Essentials video series is now available to watch.


We have been working with our Trusted Partners to produce a 6-part video series to educate businesses in the South East on Cyber Essentials and why businesses should become Cyber Essentials certified.


The final episode focuses on Firewall and Routers, you can watch this here.

What is a firewall?

A firewall is a layer of security between your network and the Internet. Since a router is the main connection from a network to the Internet, the firewall function is merged into this device. Every network should have a firewall to protect its privacy.


What is a router?

A router receives and sends data on computer networks, they are often confused with network hubs, modems or network switches.
