Firewall Screens
You can configure firewall filters and alert notifications for your home network. The SBG6782-AC
firewall protects the SBG6782-AC LAN from unwanted attacks and other intrusions on the
Internet. Firewall protection also provides the following benefits:
•
Advanced, integrated stateful-inspection firewall supporting intrusion detection, session
tracking, and denial-of-service attack prevention.
•
Maintains state data for every TCP/IP session on the OSI network and transport layers.
•
Monitors all incoming and outgoing packets, applies the firewall policy to each one, and
screens for improper packets and intrusion attempts.
•
Generates comprehensive notifications for the following:
ο User authentications
ο Rejected internal and external connection requests
ο Session creation and termination
ο Outside attacks (intrusion detection)
Protection Level
The Firewall Protection Level screen has various settings related to blocking or exclusively
allowing different types of data through the SBG6782-AC from the WAN to the LAN. There are
three security firewall protection levels which correspond to how many services are allowed:
•
High - Safest configuration, highest security
•
Medium - Common configuration, modest risk
•
Low - Minimum security, higher risk
•
Off - No security, highest risk
