Question
Which of the following is most likely to prevent tampering with server hardware that houses data?
Options
- ABiometric locks
- BStrong password policy
- CNetwork firewall
- DSurveillance cameras
Explanation
Biometric locks directly prevent unauthorized physical access to server hardware by requiring a unique biological identifier (fingerprint, retina scan, etc.) to enter the room or rack - making tampering physically impossible without authenticated presence.
- B (Strong password policy) protects logical/software access to systems, not physical hardware - someone can still walk up and pull a drive.
- C (Network firewall) operates at the network layer and does nothing to stop someone standing in front of the server.
- D (Surveillance cameras) may deter or detect tampering after the fact, but they don't prevent it - hardware can still be touched.
Memory tip: Think "prevent = physical barrier." Biometrics are the only choice that creates an actual gate between an attacker and the hardware. Cameras watch, firewalls filter traffic, passwords protect logins - only locks block.
