Routers act as hardware based firewalls. They protect the network behind them by creating a private network behind their public port. This becomes your last point of public presence.
But a managed firewall with an active subscription does this and more. They screen for known threats that try to pass through the firewall and on to the private network. This is an level of protection that is provided through a certain updated intelligence. And it also creates a log of activities recorded. Hardware based firewalls provide unified threat management. Features include: protecting networks from threats like malware, viruses, spam, and unauthorized access.
