Why each option
In a shared datacenter environment, locked rack doors are the best physical control to prevent other authorized technicians from accessing and potentially stealing proprietary information directly from servers and storage devices.
Mantraps control entry into the datacenter but do not prevent authorized personnel from accessing specific equipment within the facility.
Two-factor authentication primarily controls logical access to systems and applications, not physical access to server hardware or storage components.
Security personnel provide general surveillance and incident response but cannot provide continuous, direct supervision over every technician accessing equipment within a shared datacenter to prevent specific acts of data theft.
Locked rack doors physically restrict access to a company's specific servers and storage devices, preventing other technicians with general datacenter access from directly manipulating or stealing data-containing hardware. This is a critical layer of physical security for assets in a shared environment.
