CAS-001 Question #95: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Develop a network traffic baseline for each of the physical security systems.. To determine 'new threats' against newly deployed IP-based physical security systems, a network traffic baseline must first be established. A baseline documents normal traffic patterns, communication volumes, and expected behavior for each system. Once a baseline exists, any devi

Question

Capital Reconnaissance, LLC is building a brand new research and testing location, and the physical security manager wants to deploy IP-based access control and video surveillance. These two systems are essential for keeping the building open for operations. Which of the following controls should the security administrator recommend to determine new threats against the new IP-based access control and video surveillance systems?

Options

  • ADevelop a network traffic baseline for each of the physical security systems.
  • BAir gap the physical security networks from the administrative and operational networks.
  • CRequire separate non-VLANed networks and NIPS for each physical security system network.
  • DHave the Network Operations Center (NOC) review logs and create a CERT to respond to breaches.

Explanation

To determine 'new threats' against newly deployed IP-based physical security systems, a network traffic baseline must first be established. A baseline documents normal traffic patterns, communication volumes, and expected behavior for each system. Once a baseline exists, any deviation-such as unexpected outbound connections, port scans, or unusual traffic spikes-can be flagged as a potential new threat. Option B (air gapping) improves security but prevents network-based threat detection entirely. Option C adds controls but does not provide a mechanism for identifying what constitutes a new or anomalous threat. Option D (NOC log review) is reactive and can only respond to known threat signatures, not determine new/unknown threats. A baseline enables anomaly-based threat detection.
