Firewall Software Appliance Management

The Firewall Software and Appliance Management Project focused on configuring and testing the Sophos Firewall, a security appliance used for network protection, content filtering, and traffic management. The project involved reviewing existing firewall rules, including DMZ and outbound traffic policies, as well as creating custom security policies to restrict access to websites like Netflix and YouTube during work hours. By utilizing Sophos’ Server Access Assistant (DNAT), the project demonstrated how to create and enforce rules for network security.
