This is a trick question.
Won't make any difference what the answer is because if nobody takes notice and do not patch the application(s) and server(s), in a timely manner, no amount of "brick wall" is going to stop malicious traffic going through if the windows are left open.
Search for "essential eight". Read it. Understand it.
