For a sample of system components, inspect ports that are running, listening or enabled. Verify that only necessary ports are enabled and running. Implement security features for any required ports that are considered to be insecure. The risk in port banners involves the advertisement of operating system, applications, and version numbers. A hacker can use port scanner to scan IP addresses and network port numbers. Please ensure that your systems do not have any unnecessary and insecure ports.
