Why Use a Firewall?
With a LAN connected to the Internet through a router, there is a chance for hackers to access

your network from the outside Internet. Still, there are ways for more dedicated hackers to either
obtain information about your network or disrupt your network’s Internet access. Your
BiGuard S10 provides an extra level of protection from such attacks with its built-in firewall.
