QuestionQ48

Security and disaster recovery

A security administrator used a port-scanning tool against a virtual server hosting a secure website. Documentation provided a list of open ports. The management team has requested that nonessential ports be disabled on the firewall. Which of the following ports must stay open?

Explanation

HTTPS, the protocol used to provide a secure website, uses TCP port 443 by default. Keeping port 443 open allows clients to access the site securely.
