Question 1 of 3
In a corporate network, a security analyst is tasked with evaluating the effectiveness of the current firewall configuration. The firewall is set to allow traffic on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) while blocking all other incoming connections. The analyst notices that an employee\'s workstation is experiencing slow performance when accessing external websites. After further investigation, it is found that the workstation is attempting to connect to a web application that operates on port 8080. What is the most appropriate action the analyst should recommend to ensure both security and functionality for the employee\'s workstation?
Configure the firewall to allow traffic on port 8080 for the specific workstation.
Advise the employee to use only standard web applications that operate on ports 80 and 443.
Block all outgoing traffic from the workstation to prevent potential security breaches.
Disable the firewall temporarily to allow unrestricted access for troubleshooting.
