With increased connectivity to the Internet, organizations
can no longer simply rely on operating system security to protect
their valuable corporate data. Firewalls have emerged as the
primary tools used to prevent unauthorized access. Firewalls
are placed at the logical borders of an enterprise and aim to

Considering how important these protection mechanisms are, organizations
