312-38 Exam Dumps : Certified Network Defender (CND)

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to the maximum tolerable period in which data might be lost from an IT service due to a major incident. It is a critical parameter in disaster recovery and business continuity planning. RPO is determined based on the acceptable data loss in case of a disruption of operations. It indicates the point in time to which data must be recovered after an outage to resume business operations and avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity.

The server described in the question is known as a Bastion host. A Bastion host is a special-purpose computer on a network specifically designed and configured to withstand attacks. It is typically placed in a network’s demilitarized zone (DMZ) and acts as a proxy server, offering limited services and filtering packets to protect the internal private network from the public network. It is hardened due to its exposure to potential attacks and usually hosts a single application, like a proxy server, while all other services are removed or limited to reduce the threat surface1.

References: The definition and role of a Bastion host align with the objectives and documents of the EC-Council’s Certified Network Defender (CND) course, which emphasizes the importance of securing network devices and managing traffic between internal and external networks1
