SY0-601 Exam - Question 31


Which of the following would detect intrusions at the perimeter of an airport?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CE

Motion sensors are the appropriate choice for detecting intrusions at the perimeter of an airport. They are designed to detect movement and can trigger an alarm or alert when unauthorized individuals or objects breach the secured area. While fencing, signage, lighting, and bollards contribute to physical security by providing barriers or deterrents, motion sensors specifically serve the purpose of detecting and identifying potential intrusions.

Seriously, how does Bollards get identified as the correct answer on this site? It doesn't detect, it deters. It's a post.

Right, but the first rule of security is physical. That's why it's correct. You would detect a vehicle driving up to a Bollard. Motion Senors are similar to IDS's. Important, but physical is the more important part of the question.

But the question is "Which of the following would detect intrusions at the perimeter of an airport?". It's asking what object would detect. Bollards can't detect anything, they're a cement or metal rod in the ground.

Bollards are preventive, and Motion sensors are detection. Que says "detect".

a bollard is a physial control used to prevent not detect. the correct answer is motion sensor. motion sensors are used to detect movement

Hahaha your response is priceless! "Oh no! We must be very stealthy. We wouldn't want the bollards to see us!!"

If you hit a bollard, it would definitely be detected.

That bollard will appear on screen with a big fat FAIL if you choose that answer on the exam.

They have to mark the incorrect answer to avoid CompTIA cease and desist

who reviews these questions and answers . Bollards seriously .. its difficult to study when 60% of the answers are wrong .

Not at all. None of us KNOW what the right answer is according to CompTIA, they don't tell you which questions you get right or wrong. That's why there are discussions. Most likely the wrong answers are identified by the first vote, or perhaps by the person who provided the question. Or as some speculate, they are wrong on purpose so that CompTIA can't say that this site is providing all the correct answers to their actual exam questions. Personally, I would rather they left the "correct answer" off altogether and just let our votes dictate the "right" answer. I find that I research the answers myself if the community seems split, thus I learn more.

amen to that. they definitely do this on purpose so we discuss. If they were all correct, would we even have to? It's genius. They make it fun to learn!

I may be kind of new at this, but its obviously C. I saw someone else say this answer is wrong on purpose, and I believe that. I've seen several that were SUPER obviously wrong. :)

You are correct. A bollard is a preventative or a deterrent control, not a detective one.

I Thought at first motion sensor then i read the question " airport perimeter" you can not install motion sensors in an area as vast as airport perimeter thats why you see ballards all around the airport buildings just google airport bollards there are 2 types one gated that let cars in and one static preventing entry non of those are detective but bollards are the only method airport use on perimeter

The correct answer for detecting intrusions at the perimeter of an airport is: C. Motion sensors Motion sensors are specifically designed to detect movement, and they are commonly used as part of an intrusion detection system to monitor and alert security personnel to any unauthorized activity along the perimeter. While other options like fencing and lighting play essential roles in perimeter security, motion sensors are the primary choice for actively detecting intrusions.

We got folks talking about PIDS and fiber optics as they relate to detection systems on a fence, light, or bollard. Are ya serious? It's a motion sensor. Number one synonym for sensor? Detector! Key word is perimeter? Okay. Can't have a motion sensing light on top of a bollard next to a fence with signs on it without a motion sensor. Motion sensor. Motion sensor.

C. Motion sensors Motion sensors would be the most appropriate choice for detecting intrusions at the perimeter of an airport. Motion sensors can detect movement and trigger an alarm or alert when unauthorized individuals or objects breach the secured area. This can be an effective security measure for monitoring the perimeter and identifying potential security threats. While other options such as signage (A), fencing (B), lighting (D), and bollards (E) contribute to the overall physical security of the perimeter, they are not designed specifically for detecting intrusions. Motion sensors provide an active detection mechanism by sensing movement, making them a suitable choice for perimeter security.
