Exam CFR-310 topic 1 question 91 discussion

B. Disabling Windows Firewall Explanation: Disabling the Windows Firewall would expose the workstation to remote exploitation by allowing unauthorized network traffic, increasing the risk of attackers gaining access. The firewall is a critical layer of defense that blocks untrusted connections. Other Considerations: A. Disabling Windows Updates: This could make the system vulnerable over time by missing patches, but it does not immediately expose the workstation to remote exploitation. C. Enabling Remote Registry: This could introduce a risk but is less commonly targeted than disabling a firewall. D. Enabling Remote Desktop: While this could be a risk if misconfigured, it is not inherently insecure if properly managed with strong authentication and network controls.
