Description: A vulnerability detection firewall is a network security tool designed to identify and alert about potential vulnerabilities in a network’s infrastructure. Unlike traditional firewalls, which focus on controlling data traffic and blocking unauthorized access, vulnerability detection firewalls analyze traffic and systems for weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. These vulnerabilities may include misconfigurations, outdated software, or known security flaws. By identifying these weaknesses, network administrators can take proactive measures to mitigate risks and strengthen the overall security of the network. Vulnerability detection firewalls are often integrated with other security tools, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), to provide a more robust defense. Their relevance has grown in a digital environment where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, making early identification of vulnerabilities crucial for data protection and business continuity.
