Definition
A firewall is a security system that monitors and controls network traffic based on predetermined rules. It acts as a barrier between a trusted network and untrusted networks such as the internet.
Real-World Example
Your home router often includes a firewall that blocks unexpected inbound connections from the internet, reducing the chance that strangers can reach devices on your local network.
