47 Firewall Security Strategies Discussion Reply

There are various firewall security strategies that can be applied in the provided scenario, where security needs to be enforced. These strategies are straight forward in helping to deploy, build a firewall solution for any site or strengthen firewall rules. One of these strategies is least privileged that limits the firewall’s attack surface or exposure. This strategies supports limited access configurations or building up rules that limit access allowing any object such as a system, program, administrator, and user among others to have only privileges that they need to perform their assigned tasks (Trend Micro Solutions, 2017). However, this strategy is more costly to deploy especially due to the need of an administrator to constantly build the access rules that limit user privileges to access various files, applications, or folders. Similarly, it can be time-consuming in setting the access rules as well as disabling software or services that increase exposure to attacks or not needed as well as limiting applications that utilize the firewall.
