Description: An emergency firewall is a security system that automatically activates in response to an imminent threat or breach of the network. Its primary function is to protect computing resources and sensitive information from cyberattacks, intrusions, or any malicious activity that could compromise data integrity. This type of firewall is characterized by its rapid response capability, allowing it to mitigate security risks in real-time. It is often integrated with other security systems, such as intrusion detection systems (IDS) and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, to provide a more robust defense. Emergency firewalls can be configured to automatically block suspicious traffic, alert network administrators, and, in some cases, take corrective actions without human intervention. Their relevance has grown in a digital environment where threats are increasingly sophisticated and frequent, making them an essential tool for protecting critical infrastructures and sensitive data in organizations of all sizes.
