Question

Difficulty: MediumSecurity Program Elements and Physical Access Controls

Match each physical access control or security program element to its primary purpose within an enterprise network security framework.

  • MantrapPrevents unauthorized physical piggybacking/tailgating into sensitive data center areas using interlocking doors.
  • Security Awareness TrainingEducates personnel on identifying social engineering tactics, phishing attempts, and proper credential handling.
  • Biometric Access ControlVerifies human biological characteristics such as fingerprint or iris patterns before unlocking physical doors.
  • Incident Response PlanEstablishes formal administrative procedures, roles, and escalation steps during security breaches.

Answer

Mantrap matches with preventing piggybacking/tailgating via interlocking doors. Security Awareness Training matches with educating personnel on social engineering and phishing. Biometric Access Control matches with verifying human biological features for physical entry. Incident Response Plan matches with formal administrative breach response procedures.
Each physical access control (mantrap, biometric scanner) directly mitigates physical entry threats through hardware mechanisms or biological authentication. Each security program element (awareness training, incident response plan) provides administrative structure, human education, and process governance.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze each physical access control mechanism on the left.
Identify that a mantrap uses interlocking doors to combat tailgating, while biometrics validate biological features like fingerprints.
Physical controls manage direct bodily entry into hardware facilities.
2
Analyze each security program element on the left.
Identify that security awareness training targets human education against phishing, while an incident response plan is an administrative document outlining breach remediation steps.
Administrative elements establish policies, procedures, and human awareness program goals.
3
Pair each item on the left with its corresponding description on the right.
Establish the 4 correct pairings accurately.
Aligning controls with their functional definitions demonstrates mastery of physical and administrative program elements.
