CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

The correct answer is Recommend the implementation of biometric verification for both the server room entry and individual cabinet locks because introducing biometric security measures heightens the difficulty for unauthorized individuals to gain access, by requiring a unique physical attribute of an authorized person, such as a fingerprint or iris scan. This recommendation is appropriate as it complements the existing surveillance system, which by itself, may not deter or prevent unwanted access but can help in after-the-fact investigations.

Advise extending the complexity of the access code required on the entry pad is incorrect as it suggests solely increasing the complexity of the passcode, which, despite being a step in the right direction, lacks the robustness of biometric verification and can still be vulnerable to social engineering or other forms of compromise.

Suggest the installation of additional internal surveillance devices focused on each cabinet and Propose coupling the entry mechanism with an alert system that notifies security personnel when access is granted are incorrect because while they may assist in after-the-fact investigations by monitoring or alerting to unauthorized access, they do not directly strengthen the entry control mechanism, and hence, are not as effective in improving physical access security.
