What type of processor speed is best for a bastion host?
What will be an ideal response?
Some security administrators believe that a slower machine used as a bastion host actually helps to deter would-be attackers because a slower machine, when it's at work, doesn't have as many resources sitting unused as a faster machine. If resources aren't available, a hacker cannot exploit them. In the real world, this doesn't mean that you should look for a slow, outdated computer to function as a bastion host; rather, it means that to keep costs down or to be able to afford multiple bastion hosts, you don't necessarily have to look for the most expensive or full-featured computer. If you are running a Web server on a bastion host, by all means get the fastest processor you can afford, so that the server will operate more smoothly and quickly on the network.
