Your company is upgrading the entrance to its new data center. Management wants a passive physical security control that will let employees walk through freely but physically stop any vehicle from ramming the building. Which control BEST meets this requirement?

Badge readers, video surveillance, and chain-link fences enhance security in other ways but do not specifically prevent vehicle ramming while remaining pedestrian-friendly.
