ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During an architectural review of a new analytics cluster, you are asked to guarantee that system administrators can reach the nodes even if the production network is under active attack or mis-configured. Which design decision BEST meets this secure interface requirement?

  • Permit SSH to the existing production interface but restrict access to the data-center IP range with firewall rules.

  • Enable serial console logging on all servers so that administrators can view output if the network fails.

  • Provide each node with a separate network interface cabled to a physically isolated management VLAN that is reachable solely through a VPN requiring multi-factor authentication.

  • Expose an HTTPS-based management REST API on the public load balancer and protect it with a long, random API key.
