Description: A vulnerability management firewall is a security tool that helps identify, manage, and mitigate vulnerabilities within a network. Its primary function is to act as a barrier between an internal network and the outside, analyzing incoming and outgoing traffic to detect potential threats. Unlike traditional firewalls, which focus on access control and packet filtering, vulnerability management firewalls integrate scanning and security assessment capabilities. This allows them to identify weaknesses in systems, applications, and configurations that could be exploited by attackers. These firewalls often include features such as intrusion detection, patch management, and risk assessment, making them a comprehensive tool for protecting IT infrastructure. In an environment where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, implementing a vulnerability management firewall becomes essential to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of data, as well as to comply with security regulations and industry standards.
