VerifiedSecuring Assets

A cybersecurity analyst is asked to review firewall configurations and recommend which ports to block to prevent users from establishing outbound unencrypted connections to the Internet. The organization is concerned that traffic over this type of port is insecure and could serve as an attack vector. Which port should the analyst recommend denying?

Explanation

Port 80 is used for HTTP, which does not encrypt traffic in transit. Denying outbound port 80 helps prevent unencrypted web connections to the Internet.
