Network

• Dual firewalls - A firewall is a dedicated appliance which inspects network traffic passing through it, and denies or permits passage based on a set of rules. The firewall acts like a gate to protect assets to ensure that nothing private goes out and nothing malicious comes in.

The use of two firewalls:

The first firewall (also called the "front-end" firewall) must be configured to allow web based traffic only. The second firewall (also called "back-end" firewall) allows only traffic specific to the requested server (Our Web Application) adding a second level of security.

• Protection from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks - DoS is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely.
