CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-001) — Question 154

A company allows employees to work remotely. The security administration is configuring services that will allow remote help desk personnel to work secure outside the company's headquarters. Which of the following presents the BEST solution to meet this goal?

Answer options

• A. Configure a VPN concentrator to terminate in the DMZ to allow help desk personnel access to resources.
• B. Open port 3389 on the firewall to the server to allow users to connect remotely.
• C. Set up a jump box for all help desk personnel to remotely access system resources.
• D. Use the company's existing web server for remote access and configure over port 8080.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a VPN concentrator provides secure access to the company's network for remote personnel, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity. Option B is not secure, as opening port 3389 exposes the server to potential attacks. Option C, while useful, does not provide the same level of security as a VPN. Option D lacks security features and is not the best practice for remote access.
