Firewall

Tecnología de hardware y/o software que protege los recursos de red contra el acceso no autorizado. Un firewall autoriza o bloquea el tráfico de computadoras entre redes con diferentes niveles de seguridad basándose en un conjunto de reglas y otros criterios.

firewall

Hardware o software cuya misión es la de proteger una red de otra. Normalmente una red local de Internet. [CCN-STIC-671:2006]

Cortafuegos

Dispositivo de red físico o lógico que se utiliza para permitir, denegar o analizar las comunicaciones entre redes de datos, de acuerdo con las políticas de seguridad de la organización o del usuario. [CCN-STIC-614:2006]

Cortafuegos

Sistema hardware / software que permite inspeccionar los paquetes que lo atraviesan y en función de un conjunto de reglas permitir o denegar el paso del mismo. [CCN-STIC-641:2006]

Cortafuegos

Sistema formado por aplicaciones, dispositivos o combinación de estos encargado de hacer cumplir una política de control de acceso en las comunicaciones entre dispositivos según una política de seguridad existente. [CCN-STIC-400:2006]

Cortafuegos de sistema

Cortafuegos centrado en el control de acceso local de un determinado nodo. [CCN-STIC-400:2006]

Cortafuegos personal

Cortafuegos de sistema utilizado en estaciones de usuario. [CCN-STIC-400:2006]

Cortafuegos transparente

Propiedad de un equipo cortafuegos que le permite ser "invisible" a los clientes y servidores de la comunicación residiendo en la capa de enlace de datos aunque sea capaz de intervenir a nivel de red. [CCN-STIC-400:2006]

Cortafuegos virtuales

Plataforma que permite la definición de cortafuegos lógicos o virtuales sobre un solo sistema físico pudiendo implementarse en ellos políticas de seguridad diferentes y ser gestionados individualmente. [CCN-STIC-400:2006]

Cortafuegos

Dispositivo físico o lógico que canaliza todo el tráfico entre la red privada de una institución e Internet, para  garantizar que dicho tráfico es conforme con la política de seguridad de la institución. [Ribagorda:1997]

(en) firewall

A hardware/software capability that limits access between networks and/or systems in accordance with a specific security policy. [CNSSI_4009:2010]

(en) firewall

1. (I) An internetwork gateway that restricts data communication traffic to and from one of the connected networks (the one said to be "inside" the firewall) and thus protects that network's system resources against threats from the other network (the one that is said to be "outside" the firewall). (See: guard, security gateway.)

2. (O) A device or system that controls the flow of traffic between networks using differing security postures. [SP41]

[RFC4949:2007]

(en) Firewall

A system using either hardware or software designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network by examining each transmission block to see if it meets certain security criteria.

(en) firewall

A firewall is some kind of security barrier placed between network environments. It may be a dedicated device, or a composite of several components and techniques. It has the properties so that all traffic from one network environment to another, and vice versa, must traverse through the firewall and only authorized traffic, as defined by the local security policy, will be allowed to pass. [ISO-18028-1:2006]

(en) Firewall

Hardware and/or software technology that protects network resources from unauthorized access. A firewall permits or denies computer traffic between networks with different security levels based upon a set of rules and other criteria.

https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/glossary.php

(en) Firewall

A device or program that protects the permimeter of a network. Firewalls are placed at network gateways to prevent unwanted or malicious traffic from entering the organization's network and block unauthorised traffic from leaving the internal traffic.

(en) Web Application Firewall

An intermediary device, sitting between a web-client and a web server, analyzing OSI Layer-7 messages for violations in the programmed security policy. A web application firewall is used as a security device protecting the web server from attack.

http://www.webappsec.org/projects/glossary/

(en) Application firewall

An application firewall is an enhanced firewall that limits access by applications to the operating system (OS) of a computer. Conventional firewalls merely control the flow of data to and from the central processing unit (CPU), examining each packet and determining whether or not to forward it toward a particular destination. An application firewall offers additional protection by controlling the execution of files or the handling of data by specific applications.

(en) Firewall

A logical or physical discontinuity in a network to prevent unauthorized access to data or resources.

(en) Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)

Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are deep-packet inspection firewalls that move beyond port/protocol inspection and blocking to add application-level inspection, intrusion prevention, and bringing intelligence from outside the firewall. An NGFW should not be confused with a stand-alone network intrusion prevention system (IPS), which includes a commodity or nonenterprise firewall, or a firewall and IPS in the same appliance that are not closely integrated.

http://www.gartner.com/it-glossary/

(en) Next-generation firewall (NGFW):

A firewall beyond traditional port-based controls that enforces policy based on application, user, and content regardless of port or protocol.

Cybersecurity for Dummies, Palo Alto Networks Edition, 2014

(en) Deep-Packet Inspection

The process of inspecting a network packet all the way to the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model. That is, past datalink, network or session headers to inspect all the way into the payload of the packet. Deep-packet inspection is used by most intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/ IPS), newer firewalls, and other security devices. [knapp:2014]

(fr) Pare-feu

Technologie matérielle et/ou logicielle protégeant les ressources réseau contre les accès non autorisés. Un pare-feu autorise ou bloque le trafic informatique circulant entre des réseaux de différents niveaux de sécurité, selon un ensemble de règles et d’autres critères.

http://fr.pcisecuritystandards.org/

(fr) Pare-feu

Mécanisme de sécurité localisé entre une zone de confiance (réseau local ou une machine personnelle) et un réseau externe non digne de confiance (par exemple Internet). La tâche du firewall est de contrôler et de filtrer, d'accepter ou de bloquer, en fonction de règles de sécurité définies par un administrateur, les communications entrantes et sortantes passant par lui. Les firewalls peuvent être de type hardware (firewall physique) mais aussi software (notamment pour la protection des ordinateurs personnels).
