A network security administrator is updating physical and environmental defense measures for a new enterprise data facility. Match each physical security or environmental risk on the left with its corresponding primary control measure on the right.
- Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damaging sensitive networking hardware in equipment roomsInstalling anti-static flooring paired with HVAC systems maintaining relative humidity between 40% and 60%
- Risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) eavesdropping on core serversEnclosing critical equipment racks inside a grounded metallic Faraday cage
- Risk of unmonitored liquid accumulation beneath raised flooring caused by HVAC condensationLaying conductive rope leak detection sensors along subfloor drainage paths connected to environmental monitoring
- Risk of unauthorized individuals tailgating behind employees into the primary server hallDeploying an access-controlled dual-door mantrap equipped with weight sensors and biometric authentication
Answer
ESD risk matches anti-static flooring with 40%-60% relative humidity control; RF/EMI eavesdropping risk matches a grounded Faraday cage; subfloor HVAC liquid accumulation risk matches conductive rope leak detection sensors; and unauthorized tailgating risk matches a dual-door mantrap with weight sensors.
Each risk aligns directly with established Network+ physical security and environmental standards: ESD risk is mitigated via anti-static flooring combined with humidity controls (40%-60%); RF eavesdropping and EMI are contained using Faraday cages; subfloor water leaks are monitored via conductive rope sensors; and tailgating is prevented using interlocking mantraps.
