Firewall Management Advanced

Advanced firewall management is the discipline of architecting and operating multi-layered network security. Beyond basic "allow port 80/443", it includes DDoS mitigation (detect and drop flood traffic), WAF (block application-layer attacks like SQL injection), threat intelligence integration (block known-malicious IPs), and geo-blocking (control which countries access your services). Practitioners design rule sets that balance security and usability: block attacks without blocking customers. They monitor logs, detect anomalies, and respond to incidents.
