Why each option

To ensure secure remote access to company servers and fileshares, two specific technologies must be implemented.

ARDP

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) allows remote control of a computer, but without a VPN or another secure tunnel, RDP connections over the internet can be vulnerable if not properly secured at the perimeter.

BVPNCorrect

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure, encrypted tunnel over a public network, allowing remote users to access internal network resources as if they were physically present, which is essential for secure server and fileshare access. VPNs encapsulate and encrypt all traffic between the client and the corporate network.

CFTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is inherently insecure as it transmits data, including credentials, in plain text, making it unsuitable for secure file sharing.

DVLAN

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a network segmentation technology that separates network traffic within a local network, not a solution for secure remote access over the internet.

ETelnet

Telnet is an unencrypted network protocol used to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility, making it highly insecure for remote access due to plain-text transmission of credentials and data.

FHTTPSCorrect

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) ensures secure communication over a computer network, particularly the internet, through encryption and authentication. It is crucial for securely accessing web-based fileshares, internal portals, or management interfaces on servers, as it protects data in transit using TLS/SSL encryption.

GDHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP addresses to devices on a network and is not directly related to securing remote access connections for servers and fileshares.
