Abstract
Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with securing ports are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes a configuration logic configured to provide a security option for securing one or more selected ports. The example system may also include a security logic configured to, in response to the security option being selected, cause a data store to be modified by changing a port count to specify a fewer number of physical ports to cause an operating system to not detect the one or more selected ports.
