About Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall was introduced by Microsoft in 2001 with Windows XP. It was created to enhance the security of the operating system by providing a built-in tool to monitor and control network traffic. Over time, it evolved with subsequent versions of Windows, incorporating more advanced features to protect against a growing number of cyber threats.
Strengths of Windows Firewall include its integration with the Windows operating system, ease of use, and effective basic protection against unauthorized access. Weaknesses include limited advanced features compared to specialized firewall solutions and less granular control for experienced users. Competitors include third-party firewalls such as Norton, ZoneAlarm, and McAfee.
