الخيارات — عربي
Options — English
💡 1. A. Motion detectors – ᤶ
ᤷ Less effective as a preventive
control
o
Motion detectors are typically used for
intrusion detection and serve as a reactive
control to alert security when unauthorized
movement is detected.
o
However, they do not prevent access in the
first place.
2. B. Key card access to the facility –
Correct Answer
o
Key card access is a strong preventive control
because it ensures that only authorized
personnel can physically access the data
center.
o
It is a proactive control that prevents
unauthorized individuals from entering the
facility, thus protecting sensitive equipment
and data from unauthorized access.
3. C. Security cameras – ᤶ
ᤷ Not a preventive control
o
Security cameras are primarily monitoring tools
used for detection and evidence gathering
after an event occurs.
o
While they provide valuable insights for post-
event investigation, they are not effective in
preventing unauthorized access on their own.
4. D. Monitoring access to data center workstations – ᤶ
ᤷ
Detection, not prevention
o
Monitoring access to workstations is an
important detection control, but it doesn’t
prevent unauthorized physical access to the
data center itself.
o
Preventive controls focus on stopping access
before it happens, and workstation monitoring
is more about logging user activity after access
is granted.
