Difficulty: HardPhysical Security Controls

A security technician is establishing physical defense-in-depth controls for a newly constructed enterprise data center situated on the ground floor near a public street. The organization mandates protection against physical vehicle breach into the facility, anti-tailgating controls at the server room access point, and physical protection against internal disk theft from rack-mounted equipment. Which of the following physical security controls should be implemented to satisfy ALL of these requirements? (Select THREE.)

  1. Reinforced concrete bollards positioned along the building's exterior perimeterAnswer
  2. An access control vestibule equipped with biometric access authenticationAnswer
  3. Server cabinets with smart locks and integrated chassis locksAnswer
  4. D
    Polarized privacy filters attached to all administrative monitors
  5. E
    Faraday cage shielding surrounding the perimeter server room enclosure

Answer

The technician must deploy reinforced concrete bollards along the exterior perimeter, install an access control vestibule with biometric authentication at the entrance, and secure hardware using server cabinets with smart locks and chassis locks.
Implementing concrete bollards, access control vestibules with biometrics, and locking server cabinets directly addresses all three requirements: preventing vehicle breaches, stopping tailgating during room entry, and protecting rack-mounted server hardware from drive theft.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the exterior physical security control requirement for vehicle breach prevention.
Selecting concrete bollards mitigates vehicle impact risk along ground-floor walls near public streets.
Bollards are heavy physical barriers designed specifically to block motorized vehicle intrusion.
2
Identify the physical access control mechanism required to mitigate tailgating/piggybacking.
Deploying an access control vestibule (mantrap) enforces single-person entry via biometrics.
Interlocking doors in a vestibule ensure the exterior door closes and locks before the interior door unlocks after authentication.
3
Identify the internal hardware-level physical security control required to prevent drive and component theft.
Using locked server cabinets with smart locks and chassis locks secures physical disks within the rack.
Chassis and rack locks restrict physical access to disk bays, preventing internal drive theft by unauthorized persons.
