What is the primary function of a jump box in a secured network environment?
Provides dynamic IP address allocation to devices in the network.
Encrypts all data traffic within the internal network.
Distributes network traffic evenly across several servers.
Acts as a secure gateway for administrators to manage other internal machines.
A jump box serves as a secure gateway through which a user can connect before launching any administrative task or connecting to other servers within the network. It isolates the environment from exposure to security risks by minimizing the number of other machines directly accessible from the outside. This security measure helps prevent attacks on the secure internal network. Other answers are incorrect as they either describe functionalities that are not typical of jump boxes or exaggerate the role beyond its main security purpose.
