Question

Which of these is a type of detective access control?

Options

  • AMovement Sensors
  • BBollards
  • CFirewalls
  • DTurnstiles

Explanation

Detective controls alert us to security problems by constantly monitoring activity and recording information, so as to take immediate action in the event of a security control failure (such as bollards or turnstiles). Therefore, a movement sensor is considered a detective control, and is complementary to physical controls. Firewalls are network devices used to filter network traffic, and are thus considered technical controls. Logging and monitoring tools, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), are detective access controls (see ISC2 Study Guide, chapter 1, module 3).
