Question 1 of 30
Market research demonstrates a growing demand for a new feature that requires a specific network port to be opened on the organization\'s perimeter firewall. The business unit is pushing for immediate implementation to capitalize on the market opportunity. As the security analyst responsible for firewall management, you are concerned that opening this port without a thorough review might introduce new security risks or conflict with existing security policies. What is the most responsible course of action?

Immediately implement the firewall rule change as requested by the business unit to meet market demands.
Inform the business unit that the request cannot be fulfilled due to potential security risks and suggest they explore alternative solutions.
Implement the firewall rule change and document the process after the change has been successfully deployed.
