An organization wants to improve its physical security posture by enhancing the verification process at the entrance of a secure data center. Which of the following options is the BEST solution to ensure that only authorized individuals gain entry?
Distributing key cards to all employees with access to the data center.
Installing surveillance cameras at all entry and exit points.
Deploying a combination lock on the main door of the data center.
Installing a biometric access control system that requires fingerprint verification.
Biometric access control systems provide a high level of security by using unique physical characteristics of individuals, such as fingerprints, retinal scans, or facial recognition, to verify a person's identity. This is more secure than using key cards alone, since key cards can be lost, stolen, or duplicated, while biometric traits are much harder to replicate or share. A combination lock, while providing a layer of security, does not uniquely identify an individual and could be more easily compromised through observing the entry or sharing the code. Surveillance cameras act as a deterrent and a means to record events, but they do not actively restrict access to authorized personnel.
