Abstract
In the last decade, the number of users connecting with Web has increased by multiple folds. As the number of users is increasing, naturally, the network’s computability load will also increase, which creates the challenges to network in terms of security threats and attacks. At this juncture, the network security plays key-role by using the firewall which is considered as one of most immediate requirements assuring the users about the network security. With expansion of the size of network, it is also required to improve the security road map implementation; otherwise, it would be tough for users to rely on network-based services. In this article, a novel idea has been proposed to cater the avoidance of threats and attack in organization’s network by expanding the scope of firewall policies. The chapter shows the importance of network design and firewall rules compatibility to make network free from threats and attacks.
