Question 1 of 30
A company is implementing a new firewall solution to enhance its network security. The firewall is configured to allow traffic from specific IP addresses while blocking all other incoming requests. During a security audit, it is discovered that a critical service is being disrupted due to the firewall\'s configuration. The network administrator needs to determine the best approach to modify the firewall rules without compromising security. Which of the following strategies should the administrator prioritize to ensure both functionality and security?
Implement a whitelist approach that allows only necessary IP addresses while regularly reviewing and updating the list based on current needs.
Switch to a blacklist approach that blocks known malicious IP addresses while allowing all other traffic.
Disable the firewall temporarily to allow all traffic and identify the source of the disruption.
Configure the firewall to allow all incoming traffic during business hours and restrict it after hours.
