The spam firewall is kept up-to-date on sites to filter through an auto-update mechanism from the manufacturer.
Describe how the various type of firewalls interact with the network traffic at various levels of the OSI model?
Firewalls interact with network traffic at various levels of the OSI model primarily at the network, transport, and application layers. Packet-filtering firewalls operate at the network layer, inspecting headers to allow or block traffic based on IP addresses and port numbers. Stateful inspection firewalls function at both the network and transport layers, maintaining state information about active connections to make more informed filtering decisions. Application layer firewalls, on the other hand, analyze the data within the packets, scrutinizing content and application-specific protocols to enforce more granular security policies.
