When entering your company, you first enter a small area with a security desk where you must check in with guard personnel before you are granted access to the secure area. This area used for physical security is called what?
An access control vestibule (sometimes called a mantrap) is a small enclosed room placed between two sets of doors. The outer door closes and locks while a guard or electronic system verifies the visitor's identity; only then does the inner door unlock, preventing tailgating and piggy-backing. Bollards are posts that stop vehicles, barricades are temporary physical barriers that block passage but do not authenticate individuals, and a Faraday cage provides electromagnetic shielding rather than people screening. These differences make the access control vestibule the only option that fits the scenario described.
