A company is evaluating options for remote employees to securely access the corporate network. Which of the following solutions would provide the BEST security for sensitive corporate data while maintaining reliable connectivity?
Installing a jump server that remote employees can connect to before accessing the corporate network
Allowing remote access through a basic tunneling protocol with no additional encryption
Implementing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) with strong encryption standards for remote connections
Utilizing remote access software without two-factor authentication for user convenience
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure tunnel between the remote user's device and the corporate network, encrypting data in transit, which helps protect sensitive corporate data from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Remote access and tunneling protocols can be part of a VPN solution, emphasizing the importance of encryption and a secure tunnel. A jump server, even though it acts as a bridge between different security zones, does not inherently encrypt traffic and is less suited as a comprehensive solution for remote employees' secure connectivity.
