An infrastructure engineer is designing physical access controls for a high-security data center hall. The facility security policy mandates a mechanism that strictly prevents tailgating (piggybacking) during employee entry. Additionally, in the event of a total facility power outage, exterior access doors must default to a locked state to maintain perimeter security against intruders, while personnel remaining inside the room must be able to exit safely without active electrical power. Which combination of physical access controls best satisfies all specified operational and safety requirements?
- Deploy an access control vestibule (mantrap) equipped with fail-secure electronic locks on the exterior entry door and fail-safe mechanical crash bars on the interior exit pathway.Cevap
- BDeploy an access control vestibule (mantrap) configured with fail-safe magnetic locks on both exterior and interior doors triggered exclusively by passive infrared motion sensors.
- CInstall dual-factor biometric readers on a single standard perimeter door fitted with an electrified fail-safe strike plate.
- DInstall optical turnstile barriers using fail-safe drop-arm mechanisms connected directly to main electrical power circuits.
Cevap
Deploying an access control vestibule (mantrap) with fail-secure electronic locks on the exterior entry door and fail-safe mechanical crash bars on the interior exit pathway meets all security and emergency safety requirements.
An access control vestibule (mantrap) provides the physical interlocking control required to detect and eliminate tailgating. Using fail-secure locks on the outer entrance guarantees that loss of facility power will not unlock the door to outside intruders. Equipping the interior door exit with mechanical fail-safe hardware ensures personnel can escape during emergency power failures in compliance with safety standards.
