CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 494

An administrator is creating a secure method for a contractor to access a test environment. Which of the following would provide the contractor with the best access to the test environment?

Answer options

• A. Application server
• B. Jump server
• C. RDP server
• D. Proxy server

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A Jump server is specifically designed to provide secure access to other servers, making it the most appropriate choice for allowing the contractor to access the test environment securely. The other options, while useful in certain contexts, do not provide the same level of controlled access and security for remote management as a Jump server does.
