Question
FusionTech, a leading tech company specializing in quantum computing, is based in downtown San Francisco, with its headquarters situated In a multi-tenant skyscraper. Their office spans across three floors. The cutting-edge technology and the proprietary data that FusionTech possesses make it a prime target for both cyber and physical threats. Recently, during an internal security review, it was discovered that an unauthorized individual was spotted on one of the floors. There was no breach, but it raised an alarm. The management wants to address this vulnerability without causing too much inconvenience to its 2000+ employees and the other tenants of the building. Given FusionTech's unique challenges, which measure should it primarily consider to bolster its workplace security?
Options
- AImplement retina scanning at every floor entrance.
- BIntroduce an employee badge system with time-based access control.
- CStation security personnel on every floor.
- DBuild a separate entrance and elevator for FusionTech employees.

Explanation
Explanation
An employee badge system with time-based access control (Option B) strikes the ideal balance between robust security and operational convenience - it restricts floor access to authorized personnel only, logs entry/exit activity for audit trails, and can be scaled to 2000+ employees without significant disruption to tenants or staff. This directly addresses the vulnerability of unauthorized individuals accessing restricted floors while remaining cost-effective and minimally intrusive.
Why the distractors fail:
- Option A (Retina scanning): While highly secure, biometric retina scanning at every floor entrance is prohibitively expensive, creates bottlenecks for 2000+ employees, and is disproportionate for a general office environment.
- Option C (Security personnel on every floor): Stationing guards on every floor is costly, resource-intensive, and impractical to scale across a multi-tenant building without significant disruption.
- Option D (Separate entrance/elevator): Structurally modifying a multi-tenant skyscraper is extremely expensive, likely not feasible under building agreements, and solves only one access point rather than floor-level security.
Memory Tip
Think "Smart, Scalable, Simple" - when a question involves large workforces in shared spaces, the correct answer almost always prioritizes an access control system that is automated, auditable, and minimally disruptive rather than expensive physical or biometric solutions.
