Symantec Raptor Firewall 6.5
Other solutions and maybe the newer Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7.x
Configuration
The target host seems to be a Symantec Raptor Firewall 6.5 with a running Simple Secure Web Server. The server banner of Raptor FW version 6.5 is always "Simple, Secure Web Server 1.1". An attacker may use this information to start further investigation or dedicated attacks.
You should upgrade your Symantec Raptor Firewall 6.5 to the new Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7.x or newer. Also limit unwanted connections and communications with ACL and firewalling. A filter may prevent such an enumeration at an external interface.
