Firewalls are an integral part of a total security system.
Every server ideally should have a firewall. But, firewalls do have limitations. They are frequently misconfigured and do not alert the administrator of intrusions or stop security breaches. Firewalls do not monitor internal abuse even if configured properly. Organizations are dynamic and their people, software, and networks all constantly change.
