A network security policy, or NSP, is a generic document that outlines rules for computer network access, determines how policies are enforced and lays out some of the basic architecture of the company security/ network security environment.

The document itself is usually several pages long and written by a committee.

In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another outside network, such as the Internet, that is assumed not to be secure or trusted.

Firewalls are often categorized as either network firewalls or host-based firewalls.

Network firewalls filter traffic between two or more networks; they are either software appliances running on general purpose hardware, or hardware-based firewall computer appliances.

Host-based firewalls provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine.

Firewall appliances may also offer other functionality to the internal network they protect, such as acting as a DHCP or VPN server for that network.

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.

Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet.

A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks that constitute the internetwork until it reaches its destination node.
