A security analyst is scanning a company's public network and discovers a host is running a remote desktop that can be used to access the production network. Which of the following changes should the security analyst recommend?
A.
Changing the remote desktop port to a non-standard number
B.
Setting up a VPN and placing the jump server inside the firewall
C.
Using a proxy for web connections from the remote desktop server
D.
Connecting the remote server to the domain and increasing the password length
Placing the jump server inside the firewall and configuring a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for secure remote access would be the best recommendation to enhance security in this scenario. By using a jump server, which is a secure intermediary system, the security analyst can create a controlled access point to the production network. The jump server will act as a gateway for remote users to connect to the production network securely, while also reducing the attack surface by limiting direct access to the production network from external sources.
Using a VPN ensures that data transmitted between the remote desktop and the production network is encrypted, protecting it from potential eavesdropping and unauthorized access. This approach helps to secure the remote access process and minimizes the risk of unauthorized access to critical resources within the production network. Additionally, by placing the jump server inside the firewall, the organization can apply additional security measures, such as access controls and monitoring, to further protect the production network from potential threats.
I would choose A, simply because you cannot place a host inside a firewall, you would place it behind a firewall so either the wording is horribly wrong, or the answer Is wrong. C & D are easily discarded
Pretty sure they meant that it would be placed where it would receive protection from the firewall when they said “within”. As in within its boundaries
