Dear MalwareTips members. This question has quite often being asked before, and discussed too.
But the differences between hardware firewall such as fortigate, sophos firewall and the software firewall such as windows firewall, kaspersky firewall, eset firewall and other software firewall does seems getting thinner and thinner that until it doesnt seems that there siginoficat differences betweem these 2.
So can anyone who has such experience tell me. Whats the differences between these 2 (hardware and software firewall) in terms of protection against malware?
And nowadays with endpoint security suits also include a lot of features that once only offered on hardware firewall, does there any needs anymore to use hardware firewall?
