Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct answer:
Bastion is correct. A bastion host is a server that is fully exposed to the public Internet, but is extremely hardened to prevent attacks and is usually dedicated for a specific application or usage; it is not something that will serve multiple purposes. This singular focus allows for much more stringent security hardening and monitoring.
Incorrect answers:
All other answers choices are incorrect.
