How can installation of firewall give an organization a false sense of security?
Firewalls can be one of the most effective forms of computer security. In order to do this, they need to be configured properly, by someone with intimate knowledge both of the network and of computer security in general. Too many large organizations will buy a firewall, have it installed, and leave it at that. They feel that just because the firewall is "out there" that they will be safe.
How can installation of a firewall give an organization false of sense of security?
Installation of a firewall can give a false sense of security, because many users do not understand the limitations of a firewall. Specifically, a firewall primarily defends against unsolicited incoming attacks: a hacker tries to access the internal network from the outside. Firewalls often fail to effectively protect from threats from the inside: viruses (malware of all sorts, worms, etc), once active on the inside, may be able to spread within the network, and spawn network activity that traverses the firewall in both directions.
