Question

A security administrator needs to provide access from partners to an Isolated laboratory network inside an organization that meets the following requirements: - The partners' PCs must not connect directly to the laboratory network. - The tools the partners need to access while on the laboratory network must be available to all partners - The partners must be able to run analyses on the laboratory network, which may take hours to complete Which of the following capabilities will MOST likely meet the security objectives of the request?

  • BDeployment of a firewall to allow access to the laboratory network and use of VDI in non-

Explanation

To provide secure, indirect, and persistent access for partners to an isolated lab network, deploying a jump box for controlled entry and using persistent VDI for analyses is the most suitable solution.

Common mistakes.

  • B. A firewall controls network traffic but does not provide the indirect access (jump box) or persistent user environment required. VDI in non-persistent mode would erase all changes and progress after each session, making it unsuitable for analyses that 'may take hours to complete'.
  • C. A firewall primarily controls network traffic and doesn't offer the secure indirect access a jump box provides. While VDI in persistent mode is correct for retaining work, the firewall alone doesn't meet the 'no direct connection' security objective in the same way a jump box does.
  • D. While a jump box provides indirect access, VDI in non-persistent mode would not retain analysis progress, making it unsuitable for tasks that 'may take hours to complete' as changes are wiped after each session, failing to meet a key requirement.
