ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question

Logs generated by badge readers or other door-control devices capture the date, time, door location, and identity information every time a credential is used. Because these records are stored and can be reviewed later, they create an audit trail that supports accountability and post-incident investigations. Security cameras supply visual monitoring, guard patrols rely on human presence, and motion-activated lighting offers deterrence and visibility, but none of these alternatives automatically store detailed entry data tied to specific individuals. Therefore, access control logs are the monitoring control designed for this purpose.
