Firewall 101: Is Your Business Really Protected?

Most businesses have a firewall in place.

It sits quietly in the background, and it’s easy to assume it’s doing everything it should.

But that assumption can be risky.

Not all firewalls offer the same level of protection. And if yours is running on basic settings, hasn’t been reviewed in years, or lacks proper web filtering, threats could be slipping through without you realizing it.

Today’s cyberattacks don’t just target large organizations. Small and midsize businesses are often seen as easier opportunities — especially when security tools aren’t fully configured or monitored.

A properly set-up firewall, combined with smart web filtering, helps block malicious traffic, stop phishing attempts, and reduce the risk of ransomware before it reaches your network.

The challenge? Most businesses don’t know what “properly set up” actually looks like.

That’s why we created a simple, practical guide that explains:
