The network administrator wants to strengthen physical security in the organization. Specifically, to implement a solution stopping people from entering certain restricted zones without proper credentials. Which of following physical security measures should the administrator use?
To stop people from entering certain restricted zones without proper credentials, the recommended physical security measure would be a mantrap. A mantrap is a small room with two interlocking doors that cannot be opened simultaneously. The person trying to enter the restricted area must present proper credentials to proceed, ensuring that only authorized personnel gain access. While fences and bollards are physical barriers, they do not generally enforce entry control based on credentials. Video surveillance can monitor and record activities but does not actively prevent unauthorized entry.
Answer is B. Mantrap.
Fence is more of a detterent control than a preventive control in most cases. While mantraps are for sure Preventive controls
Hi, did you take the CND version 2 exam?
A network administrator implementing physical controls (which not the right way to do this, but anyway...) is likely interested in protecting network equipment, network circuits etc. A fence will unlikely do so, but the question clearly eliminates fence as an option, by stating "Specifically, to implement a solution stopping people from entering certain restricted zones without proper credentials" A fence doesn't restrict based on credentials (height is not a credential). A mantrap, while it can be unauthenticated, by definition it should.
B is the answer.
Fences are correct, Mantrap is used to stop people from going out, not from coming inside.
Mantrap is used for authorizing access to come inside, not sure if it can be called as a measure to m,manage only going out. I would go with Mantrap as the answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantrap_(access_control)
A fence doesn't change depending on credentials. Fence cannot be the correct answer.
question ist not that high quality. it starts with wrong role, network admin and ends up with a restricted zone and fence. Would say a mantrap is the right control.
A mantrap is a physical security measure designed to control access to a restricted area. It typically consists of a small room with two sets of interlocking doors. Both doors cannot be open at the same time, and access is controlled by verifying the credentials of the person trying to enter the restricted zone. This ensures that only authorized individuals can pass through and prevents tailgating (unauthorized entry by following an authorized person).
