6. Firewall
The CyberGuard SG appliance has a fully featured, stateful firewall. The firewall allows
you to control both incoming and outgoing access, so that PCs on the office network can
have tailored Internet access facilities and are shielded from malicious attacks.
The firewall filters packets at the network layer, determines whether the session packets
are legitimate and evaluates the contents of packets at the application layer to provide
maximum protection for your private network.
Incoming Access

configuration page to configure the firewall to:
