Egress Filter: A network security measure that monitors and restricts the flow of outbound traffic from one network to another. Typically implemented in firewalls or routers, egress filtering rules ensure that only authorized data leaves the network, helping to prevent data exfiltration and stop the spread of malware. It’s essential for enforcing network security policies and ensuring that only legitimate, necessary traffic is allowed out.
