Network Security Controls

Question

James was recruited as security personnel in an organization and was instructed to secure the organization's infrastructure from physical threats. To achieve this, James installed CCTV systems near gates, reception, hallways, and workplaces to capture illicit activities inside the premises, identify activities that need attention, collect images as evidence, and aid in an alarm system. Identify the type of physical security control implemented by James in the above scenario.

Options

  • AVideo surveillance
  • BFire-fighting systems
  • CLighting system
  • DPhysical barriers

Explanation

Video surveillance (A) is correct because James deployed CCTV cameras specifically to monitor, record, and deter unauthorized activity - the defining function of a video surveillance system. The scenario explicitly mentions capturing illicit activities, collecting image evidence, and integrating with an alarm system, all hallmarks of CCTV-based surveillance.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • B (Fire-fighting systems) address fire hazards, not monitoring or access control - a completely different threat category.
  • C (Lighting systems) deter threats through illumination but cannot capture images, identify activities, or serve as evidence.
  • D (Physical barriers) (fences, walls, locks) prevent physical entry but provide no recording, monitoring, or evidentiary capability.

Memory tip: If a security control records and watches, think surveillance. The keyword cluster - CCTV + evidence + alarm integration - always points to video surveillance on exams.
