An organization requires administrators to authenticate to a dedicated server before accessing critical systems within a secure network segment. Which of the following network appliances is being used to enforce this security measure?
A jump server is a specially configured server that administrators must use as a gateway to access secure systems, providing controlled and monitored access. This enhances security by limiting direct access to critical systems. A proxy server acts on behalf of clients to access resources on other servers but doesn't enforce administrator authentication for internal systems. A load balancer distributes network traffic across multiple servers to optimize resource utilization but doesn't control administrative access. A router directs data packets between networks based on destination addresses but doesn't manage authentication for administrators accessing secure systems.
