CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 294

A user is requesting Telnet access to manage a remote development web server. Insecure protocols are not allowed for use within any environment. Which of the following should be configured to allow remote access to this server?

Answer options

• A. HTTPS
• B. SNMPv3
• C. SSH
• D. RDP
• E. SMTP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

SSH is the correct choice because it provides secure encrypted access to the server, unlike Telnet, which is insecure. HTTPS is primarily for secure web traffic, SNMPv3 is used for network management, RDP is for remote desktop access, and SMTP is for email transmission, making them unsuitable for this requirement.
