That means they provide the same data protection whether your employee uses their device in the office or at home. Software firewalls, on the other hand, protect individual devices rather than your entire network. Routers also don’t provide individual protection for devices on your network, so if a hacker breaches one computer on your network, all the devices on your network are vulnerable to attack.
So if an employee connects their Windows or iOS laptop to an open Wi-Fi network at the public library, your router can’t do anything to protect the data on that employee device.
We recommend that every business use a combination of hardware and software firewalls.īasic routers can only protect devices that are currently connected to your network.
