CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 398

A systems administrator successfully configures VPN access to a cloud environment. Which of the following capabilities should the administrator use to best facilitate remote administration?

Answer options

• A. A jump host in the shared services security zone
• B. An SSH server within the corporate LAN
• C. A reverse proxy on the firewall
• D. An MDM solution with conditional access

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a jump host in the shared services security zone provides a secure intermediary for remote access to cloud resources. Option B, an SSH server within the corporate LAN, limits access to local network users, while C, a reverse proxy on the firewall, primarily serves web traffic and does not effectively facilitate administration. Option D, an MDM solution with conditional access, is more focused on device management than direct remote administration.
