After a recent vulnerability scan, a security engineer needs to harden the routers within the corporate network. Which of the following is the most appropriate to disable?
The most appropriate option to disable to harden the routers would be:
D. Web-based administration
Web-based administration, also known as remote management or HTTP/HTTPS access, is a common feature in routers that allows administrators to manage the device remotely using a web browser. However, this feature also introduces a potential vulnerability, as it opens up the router to potential web-based attacks.
Disabling web-based administration would reduce the attack surface and prevent potential exploits, making the router more secure.
Console access (A) is necessary for local management, routing protocols (B) are essential for network operation, and VLANs (C) are used for network segmentation and security. Disabling web-based administration (D) is the most appropriate option to harden the router.
