A Jump Server is a secure intermediary server used to access and manage remote systems or networks. It acts as a gateway, providing a controlled entry point into a secure environment, typically used in situations where direct access to internal servers is restricted for security reasons. By routing all remote connections through the Jump Server, organizations can monitor and control access more effectively, ensuring that sensitive systems are shielded from unauthorized or potentially harmful traffic. Jump Servers often employ strong authentication and logging mechanisms to enhance security and track activity.
