To track and control the movement of non-employees within a facility

To eliminate the need for surveillance cameras

To provide visitors with network access credentials

To ensure visitors are not exposed to environmental hazards

Which of the following is an example of a physical security control category?

A server room has a raised floor with cables underneath. The facility manager wants to protect the cables from water damage in case of a pipe leak. Which control is most appropriate?

Place cables directly on the floor to avoid moisture traps

Install water leak detection sensors under the raised floor

Install a sump pump in the corner of the room

Seal all cable openings with waterproof tape

A military base has a perimeter fence and a guarded gate. The base commander wants to add a layer of defense that can detect and delay an intruder who breaches the fence, while also providing a clear zone for security forces to respond. Which perimeter security measure is most appropriate?

Install a second inner fence with a clear zone between the two fences.

Use a taller fence with barbed wire on top.

Add more security guards to patrol the perimeter.

Install motion sensors on the existing fence.

A company has a high-security research lab. The lab door uses a biometric fingerprint reader. The security team discovers that the fingerprint reader sometimes fails to recognize employees with dry or worn fingerprints, causing delays. They also need to maintain a high level of security and an audit trail. Which solution best balances usability and security?

Replace the fingerprint reader with a smart card reader that requires a PIN

Replace the fingerprint reader with a simple keypad using a shared code

Remove the access control and rely on a security guard to verify identities

Keep the fingerprint reader and add a secondary PIN pad for fallback
