The terms computer security, information security and cybersecurity were practically non-existent in the 1980s, but believe it or not, firewalls have existed in some form since that time. Over the years, the traditional firewall has transformed to meet the demands of the modern workplace and adapt to an evolving threat landscape.

VPNs encrypt data streams and protect endpoints from unauthorized access, essentially by requiring all network communications to flow over a secured pipe. However, VPN pipes have become less efficient with the rising use of personally-owed mobile devices increasing reliance on cloud-centric IT resources.

Encryption and the development of cryptography have been a cornerstone of IT security for decades and remain critical for data protection against evolving threats. While cryptology is thousands of years old, modern cryptography took off in the 1970s with the help of the Diffie-Hellman-Merkle and RSA encryption algorithms.

Another method used to bypass firewall restrictions is creating a tunnel out from a compromised PC. Firewalls typically block inbound traffic but allow outbound to pass. This gives them an encrypted tunnel by which to establish RDP connections with a remote command and control (C&C) server – and the firewall won’t stop them.
