Which physical security control uses a set of two interlocking doors to directly prevent unauthorized individuals from tailgating into a secure data center facility?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: A mantrap vestibule

Cevap

A mantrap vestibule is the correct physical security control designed specifically to prevent tailgating by utilizing interlocking doors.
A mantrap vestibule features two interlocking doors where only one door can be open at a time. Once a user scans their credentials to enter the first door, that door must close fully before the second door unlocks, isolating individuals and preventing unauthorized tailgating into restricted areas.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary threat described in the scenario.
The target threat is tailgating (piggybacking), where an unauthorized individual physically follows an authorized person through a secure doorway.
Preventing tailgating requires physical barriers capable of enforcing single-person entry verification.
2
Differentiate physical security controls from logical network security controls.
A mantrap vestibule physically holds an individual between two interlocking doors until identity/access is verified. Logical controls (ACLs, AAA, Port Security) operate entirely inside network software/hardware interfaces.
Only physical access controls like mantraps physically constrain human movement at facility entrances.

Cevap: Installing biometric door scanners and proximity card readers at all entrances to the server room; Deploying security guards and automated physical keycard locks on rack enclosures containing network hardware

Cevap

The two physical access controls are installing biometric scanners with proximity card readers at server room entrances, and deploying security guards alongside lockable equipment rack enclosures.
Physical access controls prevent unauthorized physical entry to infrastructure assets. Biometric scanners combined with proximity readers protect room perimeters, while security guards and lockable rack cabinets protect the physical hardware directly from unauthorized physical contact or theft.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Differentiate between physical security controls and technical/logical security controls.
Physical controls manage tangible entry, environmental protection, and direct physical access to hardware (e.g., doors, locks, guards, biometrics, video surveillance). Logical/technical controls enforce access via software, protocols, or network configuration (e.g., ACLs, AAA/TACACS+, Port Security).
Security program elements explicitly separate physical safeguards from technical software safeguards.
2
Evaluate option choices to select physical security elements.
Biometric door access with card readers restricts physical human movement into the facility. Guards and lockable rack cabinets restrict physical human tampering with server and network gear.
