CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 358

All security analysts' workstations at a company have network access to a critical server VLAN. The information security manager wants to further enhance the controls by requiring that all access to the secure VLAN be authorized only from a given single location. Which of the following will the information security manager most likely implement?

Answer options

• A. A forward proxy server
• B. A jump server
• C. A reverse proxy server
• D. A stateful firewall server

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, a jump server, which is specifically designed to provide secure access to a network segment from a controlled location. The other options do not serve the same purpose; a forward proxy server (A) facilitates outbound traffic, a reverse proxy server (C) manages incoming traffic, and a stateful firewall server (D) monitors traffic but does not restrict access to a single location.
