Difficulty: EasyPhysical Security Controls

An IT technician is tasked with securing standalone server enclosures located inside a shared office space to prevent unauthorized physical opening of the equipment cases and theft of internal storage drives. Which TWO of the following physical security controls should the technician implement? (Select TWO.)

  1. Server chassis locksAnswer
  2. Cable locks secured to immovable structural anchorsAnswer
  3. C
    Privacy screen filters
  4. D
    Perimeter vehicle bollards
  5. E
    Faraday bags

Answer

The correct physical security controls are server chassis locks and cable locks secured to immovable structural anchors.
Chassis locks restrict physical access to internal system components by securing the server case, while cable locks anchored to permanent fixtures prevent physical removal and theft of the entire server enclosure.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the physical security objectives given in the scenario.
The requirements are protecting the internal components from unauthorized case opening and preventing theft of the system unit.
Choosing the appropriate physical control requires matching the physical barrier to the specific risk vector.
2
Evaluate which controls address these specific hardware risks.
Chassis locks prevent case opening to secure internal drives; cable locks anchor the equipment to prevent theft of the entire unit.
Both measures directly mitigate physical access and equipment removal in a shared office environment.
