The 'bastion host' firewall was developed, which provided another layer of security to complement the filtering router.The bastion host is usually a secured system which sits between the internal and external networks and is generally used in conjunction with a filtering router to form two separate security layers.The bastion host firewall offers strong protection because in addition to a filtering router, it can also improve password protection on incoming traffic.
