Changing the default port of a secure service to a non-standard port is considered a sufficient security control to prevent unauthorized access
True
False
The statement is false because while changing the default port can reduce the surface visibility to automated attacks or scans, it is considered security by obscurity, which is not sufficient as a standalone security measure. Attackers can still discover services on non-standard ports using port scanning techniques. Proper security controls require the implementation of additional measures such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and stringent access controls.
