QuestionQ74

Securing Assets

Management has asked for an extra layer of remote-access control to safeguard a critical database hosted online. Which of the following would BEST provide this protection?

  • A Encryption of data at rest
  • B Implementation of group rights
  • C Incremental backups conducted continuously
  • D A proxy server with a virtual private network (VPN)
Explanation

A proxy server with a VPN adds a secured, controlled remote-access gateway in front of the database. The VPN protects the remote connection, while the proxy can mediate and restrict access before traffic reaches the database. Encryption at rest, group rights, and backups do not provide this additional remote-access boundary.
