CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 621

A network manager wants to set up a remote access system for the engineering staff. Access to this system will be over a public IP and secured with an ACL. Which of the following best describes this system?

Answer options

• A. VPN
• B. Secure Shell
• C. Jump server
• D. API

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, VPN, as it provides a secure connection over a public network, allowing remote access while protecting data with encryption. Secure Shell (B) is primarily used for secure command-line access, not a full remote access system. A Jump server (C) is a secure intermediary for accessing other servers, and an API (D) is used for integrating applications, not for remote access.
