Question
An engineer needs to find a solution that creates an added layer of security by preventing unauthorized access to internal company resources. Which of the following would be the best solution?
- A. RDP server
- B. Jump server Correct
- C. Proxy server
- D. Hypervisor
Explanation
A jump server is a hardened host that administrators must connect to first before they can reach internal systems, adding a controlled, monitored layer between users and internal resources. A proxy server mainly brokers and filters client web traffic rather than gating administrative access to internal hosts. An RDP server exposes remote desktop access itself, and a hypervisor hosts virtual machines; neither adds an access-control layer in front of internal resources.
