As the name suggests, hardware firewalls are security devices that represent a separate piece of hardware placed between an internal and external network (the Internet). This type is also known as an Appliance Firewall.
Unlike a software firewall, a hardware firewall has its resources and doesn’t consume any CPU or RAM from the host devices. It is a physical appliance that serves as a gateway for traffic passing to and from an internal network.
They are used by medium and large organizations that have multiple computers working inside the same network. Utilizing hardware firewalls in such cases is more practical than installing individual software on each device. Configuring and managing a hardware firewall requires knowledge and skill, so make sure there is a skilled team to take on this responsibility.
