Host Firewall

What is a Host Based Firewall?

A host based firewall is security oriented software that installs on individual workstations, servers, and laptops. Host based firewalls provide the ability to control network traffic through the enforcement of policies that govern permissions for network traffic to be allowed into and out of the computer.
