Question

_________ are installed separately on individual devices. They provide more granular control to allow access to one application or feature while blocking others.

• A. Hardware firewalls
• B. Antivirus
• C. Software firewalls
• D. Malware

Hint:

Software firewalls protect individual devices by controlling app-level network access.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Software firewalls are installed on individual devices such as computers or smartphones. They offer detailed control over network traffic by allowing or blocking specific applications or features on that device. This granular control helps in protecting the device from unauthorized access and threats while enabling legitimate traffic.
In contrast, hardware firewalls are physical devices that protect an entire network. Antivirus software focuses on detecting and removing malicious software, and malware refers to harmful software itself.
