An organization's server room entry is secured solely by numerical access codes, which has recently led to heightened concerns about the method's vulnerability to systematic guessing attempts. To increase the difficulty for perpetrators attempting to gain unauthorized entry, which enhancement should be taken?
Intermittent updates to numerical access codes.
Setting up an audible alert after multiple failed entry attempts.
Installing a biometric authentication system.
Enhancing video surveillance around the entry area.
Employing a biometric authentication system increases security by requiring personal physical attributes, making it significantly more resistant to systematic guessing and unauthorized entry compared to numerical access codes. Updating numerical access codes intermittently can temporarily prevent unauthorized access but does not inherently improve resistance against a focused attack. An audible alert after a set number of failed attempts might deter but not prevent an intruder who can still continue to attempt access. Video surveillance, although useful for monitoring and recording, does not in itself prevent unauthorized access.
