Homonym: tűzfal (Barrier)
A "tűzfal" is a Hungarian term for a "firewall," which is a security system designed to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic. It acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, such as the internet. Firewalls can be hardware-based, software-based, or a combination of both, and they help protect computers and networks from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
Firewalls use predefined security rules to determine which traffic is allowed or blocked. They can also log traffic data for analysis and help organizations comply with regulations. By filtering data packets, a tűzfal plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and integrity of digital information.
