Security and disaster recovery

A company's IDS detected outbound traffic from one of its web servers over port 389 to an external address. The server hosts websites only. The company's SOC administrator has asked a technician to harden this server. Which of the following is the BEST way to fulfill this request?

Explanation

Port 389 is commonly used for LDAP, not normal web hosting. A web-only server should not require outbound LDAP traffic to an external address, so disabling port 389 removes an unnecessary and potentially malicious communication path.
