CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-001) — Question 225

Management is concerned with administrator access from outside the network to a key server in the company. Specifically, firewall rules allow access to the server from anywhere in the company. Which of the following would be an effective solution?

Answer options

• A. Honeypot
• B. Jump box
• C. Server hardening
• D. Anti-malware

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A Jump box provides a secure intermediary for remote access, ensuring that administrators connect through a controlled environment before accessing the key server, thus enhancing security. In contrast, a honeypot is designed to attract and trap attackers, server hardening focuses on securing the server itself, and anti-malware protects against malicious software, none of which directly address external access concerns.
