Network ports that are open and listening but do not have services or applications currently using them pose no security risk.
Correct
Incorrect
The correct answer is 'Incorrect' because open ports always represent a potential security risk, even if they are not actively being used by a service or application at the time. Attackers can exploit these open ports to gain unauthorized access or launch attacks such as port scanning and zero-day exploits. Closing unused ports and implementing proper network segmentation are crucial for minimizing the attack surface and improving overall security posture.
