What is a bastion host and how is one typically configured?

What will be an ideal response?


A bastion host is a computer on the network perimeter that has been specially protected with OS patches, authentication, and encryption. In general, a bastion host should be a computer running an OS that is already secure or has been in release long enough that patches for security vulnerabilities are available. When the OS is made as secure as possible by eliminating unnecessary software and services, closing potential openings, and protecting information with encryption and authentication, the computer is said to be hardened.
