CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 781

A manufacturing organization wants to control and monitor access from the internal business network to the segregated production network, while ensuring minimal exposure of the production network to devices. Which of the following solutions would best accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Proxy server
• B. NGFW
• C. WAF
• D. Jump server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a Jump server acts as a secure intermediary for accessing the production network, providing controlled access and minimizing exposure. Proxy servers (A) and NGFW (B) are more focused on filtering traffic rather than providing direct access management, while WAF (C) is designed for web application security, not network access control.
