ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your organization operates a three-zone firewall: Untrusted (Internet), DMZ, and Internal. Security has mandated creation of a fourth Management zone that is reachable only after VPN authentication. A new bastion (jump) host will be used by administrators to manage web servers in the DMZ and file/database servers in the Internal zone. According to firewall security-zone best practices, in which zone should the bastion host be placed to minimize the attack surface while still allowing administration of the other zones?

  • Untrusted zone, with a public IP so administrators can connect without traversing the VPN.

  • DMZ, alongside the public web servers it will manage.

  • Management zone that is isolated from user traffic and accessible only after VPN authentication.

  • Internal zone, where the file and database servers are located.
