This is an era of technology and with the rapid growth of the Internet, networks are continuously growing. Companies are shifting from simple to more complex networks. Since networks are responsible to transmit huge data which is often sensitive and a point of concern for hackers. Despite the sizes of the networks, all networks are subject to several threats. Companies deploy several security measures to protect their networks from unauthorized access. These security measures are implemented from the device level to the network level. Every security layer adds more to the security of the company's network. Firewalls are the piece of software that provides internal and external security of the network. Firewalls aim to enhance the device level as well as network-level security. This paper aims to investigate the different types of firewalls, their architecture, and vulnerabilities of the firewall. This paper improves the understanding of firewall and its various types of architecture.

This dissertation provides a theroetic study on the network security in general , the firewall in particular . In fact, the firewall has been recognized as a very promising option to obtain the security in the real world network environment . The dissertation provides a thorough theoretic investigation on the various problems raised in the computer network, and also explores a methodology of the security against IP spoofing. Moreover, it investigates a systematic procedure to make analysis plans of the firewall configuration. Based on the above investigation and analysis , this dissertation provides two approaches to network security, which address a number of issues both at the network and at application level. At the network level. a new methdo is proposed which uses packet filtering based on the analysis of the counter plot about the screen router. On the other hand at the application level, a novel method is exlored which employs security software , Firewall-1, on Bastion host. To demonstrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed methodologes, a prototype implementation is made. The experiment result shows that the screen router employing the proposesed anti-IP spoofing method at the network level is effective enough for the system to remain secure without being invaded by any illegarl packets entering from external hackers. Meanwhile , at the application level. the proposed software approach employing Firewall -1 is proved to be robust enough to provent hackings from the outer point to point protocol connection. Theoretically, it is not possible to provide complete secuirty to the network system, because the network security involove a number of issues raised from low level network equipments form high level network protocol. The result in this dissertation provides a very promising solution to network security due to its high efficiency of the implementation and superb protectiveness from a variety of hacking.

Existing network layer firewall security support is one that does not support the higher layer, the application layer of a vulnerable web application security. Under these circumstances, the vulnerability of web applications to be able to defend a Web Application Firewall is positioned as a solver to solve the important security issues of businesses spotlighted in the next generation of security systems, and a very active market in the market other than domestic is expected to be formed. However, Firewall Web has not yet proposed a standard which can be used to test the performance of the Web Application Firewall Web Application Firewall and select the products of trust hardly Companies in BMT conduct their own individual problems and the cost of performance testing technologies, there is a limit. In this study, practically usable BMT model was developed to evaluate the firewall vendor. Product ratings ISO / IEC 9126, eight product characteristics meet the performance and characteristics of a web application firewall entries are derived. This can relieve the burden on the need to be evaluated in its performance testing of Web firewall, and can enhance the competitiveness of domestic-related sectors, by restoring confidence in the product can reduce the dependence on foreign products.

Service environments through laptops, smart devices, and various IoT devices are developing very rapidly. Recent security measures in these Internet environments mainly consist of network application level solutions such as firewall(Intrusion Prevention Systems) and IDS (intrusion detection system). In addition, various security data have recently been used on-site, and issues regarding the management and destruction of such security data have been raised. Products such as DRM(Digital Rights Management) and DLP(Data Loss Prevention) are being used to manage these security data. However despite these security measures, data security measures taken out to be used in the field are operated to the extent that the data is encrypted, delivered, and stored in many environments, and measures for encryption key management or data destruction are insufficient. Based on these issues we aim to propose a SecureOS Module, an OS-based security module. With this module users can manage and operate security data through a consistent interface, addressing the problems mentioned above.

The advance of computer and communication technologies enables the embedded systems to be equipped with the network communication interfaces. Their appearance in network leads to security issues on the embedded systems. An easy way to overcome the security problem is to adopt the packet filter that is implemented in the general computer systems. However, general packet filters designed for host computers are not suitable to embedded systems because of their complexity. In this paper, we propose a lightweight packet filter for embedded systems. The lightweight packet filter is implemented in the kernel code. And we have installed a Web-GUI interface for user to easily set the filtering policies at remote space. The experimental results show that the proposed packet filter decreases the packet delivery time compared to the packet filter designed for host computers and it is comparable to the systems without packet filter.

Small and medium enterprises have more dependency on their information technology than large enterprises have. but they can't pay much for information technology and information security due to financial restrictions, limited resources, and lack of know-how. So there are many vulnerabilities in small and medium enterprises and these would make many security incidents. Security managers of small and medium enterprises think that information security in their company is simply equivalent to updating the antivirus solutions. managing firewall, and patching systems regularly. However, security policies, prevention of information theft. business continuity, access controls, and many other information security issues should be considered for mitigating security incidents. In this context, we redefined security countermeasures and strategies which are only appropriate to large enterprises. for making them appropriate on a secure operating for information system of small and medium enterprises, and we investigate information security issues in the four views of information system and company, and finally we present information security strategies for each view, in this paper.

With a remarkable growth and expansion of Internet, the security issues emerged from intrusions and attacks such as computer viruses, denial of services and hackings to destroy information have been considered as serious threats for Internet and the private networks. To protect networks from intrusions and attacks, many vendors have developed various security systems such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. However, managing these systems individually demands too much work and high cost. Thus, integrated and autonomous security management for various security products has become more important. In this paper, we present the architecture of the WISMSF (Web-based Integrated Security Management System for Firewalls) and the merits of centralized approach for managing heterogeneous firewalls and implement the prototype of the central policy database that is a component of the WISMSF engine. The WISMSF engine supports an integrated view for policies, the integrity of polities and the easy recovery and addition of policies. And also, we define the policy conflicts of WISMSF and present the policy recovery process to support to the policies consistence.
