The document discusses different components of corporate firewalls: Firewalls prevent unauthorized access to a company's network from outside networks like the Internet. They monitor data flowing in and out and intercept unjust access. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows sending and receiving files between machines remotely over the Internet. A bastion host is a hardened computer located outside the firewall that withstands attacks and typically hosts a single application like a proxy server. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and other servers, evaluating requests according to filtering rules and sometimes altering or serving requests without contacting the actual server.
