Firewalls
Firewalls are a set of related programs that are located at a network gateway server. Firewalls protect private networks from users from other networks getting access. Firewalls are important to have to stop people from accessing things they shouldn’t as for example if someone not involved in a business gets access to a business’s website they then could access that business customers private information which would make that business not be trusted by the public which would lose the business money.
Secure socket layers- easier to remember as (SSL) is a protocol for transmitting private documents through the internet. SSL keeps users personal details such as full name, address, bank card details, etc. knowing that websites with ‘https’ with the ‘s’ after the ‘http’ indicates that the website is secure and can be trusted to not do anything it shouldn’t such as sharing out your personal details or taking more money that agreed on if it was a site where you were purchasing something. Other sites that cannot be trusted may ask for details and if you give them all your details that that’s giving them everything that they need to steal your money and even steal your identity.
