Why should ports be secured ?
Open ports are via which a hacker determines what daemons your server is running, and whether or not, your system can be exploited or not. Port scan is the first thing that is done to fingerprint your OS and determine what is running. Open ports behave like open windows in your house. The more closed and armoured windows you have, the less thempting to thieves. Open ports in the server work in the same way, the more they are, the more tempting they become.
