Firewalls

Oracle recommends using a firewall to protect your network from external entities.

A firewall limits traffic into and out of your network, creating a secure barrier around it. It can consist of a combination of software and hardware, including routers and dedicated gateway machines.

There are multiple types of firewalls, so you should choose one suited to your resources and specific needs. Oracle recommends using a reverse proxy server as part of your firewall. For more information, see Reverse proxy servers.

For more information on using firewalls with BDD, see the Installation Guide.
