The issue of computer network security has generated concern and attention in the past few years more than ever before. Over the years, the control of computer information has shifted more and more to desktops and remote sites via networking. As a result of this, organizations have continued to use the services of third parties companies to convey important data information within their intranet and the internet. This paper provides an extensive review of network security, specifically Firewall implementations, on Local Area Networks of Windows NT and Unix Operating Systems. It addresses the basics of computer network security, its evolution, and the problems faced in securing data over networks where it is desirable to permit access to some users while simultaneously denying others such access.
