CAS-002 Question #840: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: RDP server. An RDP server provides the lowest technical complexity for accessing an internally developed application GUI remotely because the application runs server-side and native RDP clients require no installation or admin rights on endpoints.

Question

A new IT company has hired a security consultant to implement a remote access system, which will enable employees to telecommute from home using both company issued as well as personal computing devices, including mobile devices. The company wants a flexible system to provide confidentiality and integrity for data in transit to the company's internally developed application GUI. Company policy prohibits employees from having administrative rights to company issued devices. Which of the following remote access solutions has the lowest technical complexity?

Options

  • ARDP server
  • BClient-based VPN
  • CIPSec
  • DJump box
  • ESSL VPN

Explanation

An RDP server provides the lowest technical complexity for accessing an internally developed application GUI remotely because the application runs server-side and native RDP clients require no installation or admin rights on endpoints.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Client-based VPN requires installing a VPN agent on each endpoint, which typically requires administrative privileges - directly violating the company policy prohibiting admin rights on company-issued devices.
  • C. IPSec operates at the network layer and requires complex configuration of security associations, authentication methods, and encryption policies on both peers, resulting in significantly higher technical complexity than a simple RDP server deployment.
  • D. A jump box requires users to authenticate to an intermediate host before connecting to the target resource, adding infrastructure to manage and an extra hop that increases complexity.
  • E. SSL VPN commonly requires a browser plugin, agent download, or dedicated client application on each device, adding per-device configuration overhead compared to the universally built-in RDP client.
