A security architect is planning a new on-premises server facility. Management wants to make it difficult for casual observers-even local residents-to recognize that the building houses critical IT infrastructure. Which design decision BEST meets the goal of datacenter camouflage as a physical access control?
Embed retractable, crash-rated bollards across every driveway leading to the loading dock.
Install dual-factor biometric turnstiles at the single employee entrance.
Use an unmarked warehouse-style building, omit all company signage, and register the property under a neutral name that reveals nothing about its function.
Fit all exterior windows with mirrored, blast-resistant reflective glass.
Datacenter camouflage relies on concealment and security through obscurity: a nondescript exterior, neutral naming, and an absence of corporate logos prevent outsiders from realizing that the site is a datacenter. The correct option directly implements this strategy. The other measures-biometric readers, reflective glass, and vehicle-stopping bollards-may improve physical security, but they are easily identifiable security features rather than methods of hiding the facility's purpose.
