Question

A company has been purchased by another agency and the new security architect has identified new security goals for the organization. The current location has video surveillance throughout the building and entryways. The following requirements must be met: 1. Ability to log entry of all employees in and out of specific areas 2. Access control into and out of all sensitive areas 3. Two-factor authentication Which of the following would MOST likely be implemented to meet the above requirements and provide a secure solution? (Select TWO).

Options

  • AProximity readers
  • BVisitor logs
  • CBiometric readers
  • DMotion detection sensors
  • EMantrap

Explanation

The three requirements are: (1) logging employee entry/exit, (2) access control to sensitive areas, and (3) two-factor authentication. Proximity readers (smart card/RFID) satisfy requirements 1 and 2 - they log who entered or exited and physically gate access to areas. Biometric readers (fingerprint, retina scan) add a second factor based on 'something you are,' satisfying requirement 3 when combined with the proximity card ('something you have'). Together they form a two-factor system. Visitor logs (B) are manual and don't automate logging or control access. Motion sensors (D) detect movement but don't authenticate users. A mantrap (E) is a physical double-door airlock that prevents tailgating but does not inherently provide two-factor authentication or automated logging.
