Understanding Zone-Based Firewalling

Zone-Based Firewalling is a security methodology where network traffic is controlled and monitored based on predefined security zones rather than individual ports or IP addresses. It involves organizing network segments into distinct zones and applying access control policies between these zones to regulate the flow of traffic. This approach enhances network security by providing a more granular level of control and isolation between different parts of the network.
