A company is reviewing measures to enhance the security of its server room, which is located in a building shared with other tenants. Recent security audits suggest the need for better controls to prevent unauthorized physical access. Which of the following options would best enhance the security of the server room?
Installing biometric access controls on the entrance to the server room
Maintaining a manual log book for employees to sign in and out when accessing the server room
Requiring IT staff to be present at the entrance of the server room at all times
Implementing a combination lock with a shared code for all IT staff members
Biometric access controls provide a high level of security by requiring unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or retinal scans, which are difficult to duplicate or forge. They ensure that only authorized individuals can gain access to the server room. Using a combination lock might be easily compromised if the code is shared or observed by unauthorized individuals. Manual logs are prone to human error and manipulation, hence not as secure. Requiring IT staff to be present at all times is impractical and does not scale well.
