During a penetration test of a data center, one of your findings relates to the entrance security. The data center uses an access control system with badge readers, but you observed that it's possible for non-badge holders to tailgate behind authorized employees undetected. In the report, which remediation should be recommended to enhance physical security and prevent tailgating?
Propose enhanced user training to make employees aware of tailgating threats without altering the physical control system.
Advise increasing the timeout period on the badge readers to allow more time for authorized users to pass through, thus reducing the likelihood of tailgating.
Recommend implementing a mantrap to prevent multiple people from entering at the same time after a single authentication event.
Suggest the deployment of an additional CCTV camera focused on the entrance to deter potential tailgate attempts.
An access control vestibule is a physical security control consisting of two sets of doors that enforce authentication before allowing access to secure areas, thereby preventing tailgating. Since the concern is unauthorized individuals following authorized employees, you recommend an addition of a mantrap, which is specifically designed to address this issue by allowing only one person to enter at a time after authentication.
