A firewall should be situated at the edge of the network between an internal private network and the public Internet. The firewall should inspect all traffic coming in and out of the network to ensure that no malicious content or attacks can be initiated from outside the network. Firewalls can also be placed internally within the network to control access to individual subnets and devices.
