An employee of a secure facility has reported their key fob missing. What is the MOST immediate action that should be taken to maintain the physical security of the facility?
Report the key fob as missing and await further instructions.
Change the door locks to which the key fob had access.
Deactivate the missing key fob in the access control system.
Notify other employees about the missing key fob and advise them to be vigilant.
Deactivating the missing key fob from the access control system is crucial to prevent unauthorized entry. Merely reporting it as missing does not stop it from being used if found by malicious individuals. Changing the door locks is unnecessary and time-consuming as modern access controls allow for specific fobs to be deactivated remotely. Notifying other employees is a security measure, but it should be a subsequent action following the deactivation of the key fob.
