What is a Hardware Firewall Solution and 
How is it Beneficial? 
Hardware Firewall: 
A hardware firewall is a physical device that is similar to a server that filters 
traffic to a computer. The network cable is connected to this firewall instead of 
the server. This device positions the firewall between the uplink and the 
computer. 
This device acts as a standard computer with a processor, memory, and 
sophisticated software. It employs powerful networking components (hardware 
and software) and forces all traffic traversing that connection to be inspected by 
configurable rulesets which grant or deny access accordingly. 
A hardware firewall acts as an intermediary between the internal network and 
outside servers on the web. 
Once the connection of the firewall to the server is done, all the network traffic 
has to pass through the firewall. It allows to have a granular control over the 
type of traffic that helps in keeping the device protected from malware of any 
kind. 
 
Advantages of Hardware Firewall: 
Traffic control: A hardware firewall controls the incoming and outgoing firewall 
that should reach the server. 
Default rules: A fully configurable list of default rules that can be applied to all 
traffic when using a hardware firewall. 
Port Access: A hardware firewall grants granular control to tailor rules with 
options like allowing all traffic to the website or ensuring only restricted access 
to a few selected users. The developer and the administrator are only allowed 
access to SSH port or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). 
 
 
Managed staff: A fully managed hardware firewall gives access to a fully staffed 
networking team to configure, troubleshoot, or adjust controls quickly and 
efficiently. 
Additional server resources: A hardware firewall allows users to utilize the 
additional resources of the server that would otherwise be not utilized. This is 
possible as it is a separate device from the server. The efficiency of the hardware 
firewall allows users to disable the software firewall and rely completely on the 
hardware firewall. It frees up valuable memory and processing power for the 
functions and services that the business needs to continue. 
Businesses prefer a hardware firewall as it provides an overall protection for the 
entire network through a single, standalone physical device. It does not require 
regular updates but a dedicated resource is necessary to manage and install the 
hardware server.
