Hi Jonathan,<br />
<br />
By keeping the Port 80 open , do you mean its for inbound access / outbound access or accessing &nbsp;Firewall as destination. Usually most of the commercial firewalls &nbsp;have a rule called Stealth Rule, whihc is the FIRST rule above all admin-configured rules that prevents anyone connecting to the Firewall on any port except the trusted hosts ( Moslty Management stations running the Client GUI ). <br />
<br />
If your firewall is a any open-source one, you need to put this in place so that only the trusted inside management station has access-to-firewall, and firewall will not process any Traffic with Itself as Destination.<br />

Hi Jonathan,

By keeping the Port 80 open , do you mean its for inbound access / outbound access or accessing  Firewall as destination. Usually most of the commercial firewalls  have a rule called Stealth Rule, whihc is the FIRST rule above all admin-configured rules that prevents anyone connecting to the Firewall on any port except the trusted hosts ( Moslty Management stations running the Client GUI ).

If your firewall is a any open-source one, you need to put this in place so that only the trusted inside management station has access-to-firewall, and firewall will not process any Traffic with Itself as Destination.

I was wondering would be the best way to go about protecting my firewall from hackers and leaving port 80 on as we need that on at all times

how to protect a firewall and leaving port 80 on?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
