It’s interesting to learn about the different types of firewalls available in the market, including Generation One or packet filtering, Generation Two or Proxy firewalls, Generation Three or stateful firewalls, Generation Four or Dynamic Packet-Filtering firewalls, and Generation Five or Kernel Proxy firewall software.

As you rightly pointed out, understanding how firewalls work and how to use them is vital for a security officer’s job. They play a crucial role in keeping data safe and mitigating loss, and having the correct protocols in place is essential in case of a data loss or breach.
I appreciate your emphasis on the importance of understanding firewalls to maintain the integrity of the network and keep things running safely.
