Which of the following actions should the administrator take FIRST to remediate this security risk?
Enable TLS on the server to ensure data is encrypted during transit.
Patch the web application as it may contain vulnerabilities that disable encryption.
Update the firewall rules to block all traffic on port 80 to the application server.
Force all web application traffic to use HTTPS by default.
