A company is looking to enhance the physical security of its data center to prevent unauthorized access. Which of the following physical controls would be the most effective in ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter the data center?
Implementing biometric access controls
Placing warning signs outside the data center
Using fluorescent lighting in the data center
Installing security cameras outside the data center
Implementing biometric access controls is the most effective physical control to ensure that only authorized personnel can enter the data center. Biometrics, such as fingerprint or iris scanners, provide a high level of security by verifying the unique biological characteristics of individuals. Security cameras and warning signs are deterrent controls that may discourage unauthorized access but do not physically prevent entry. Fluorescent lighting does not have a significant impact on controlling access.
