Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 488 discussion

Layer 8 issue.

For sure A, Access Control Vestibule wouldn't help with securing a perimeter.

It is 100% A. Working as a hospitals system administrator, I can I assure you that even a $10,000,000 physical security system is only as good as your dumbest employee. The KEY WORD here is social engineering, with a sucessfull social engineering attempt an uneducated user can be tricked into opening the door, No auth needed. End users are the biggest risk, train them

physical perimeter

In the given question about protecting a company's physical perimeter, the focus is on preventing intrusions that may be facilitated by social engineering. For example, an attacker might use social engineering tactics to convince an employee to open a secured door or provide access credentials, bypassing traditional security measures. The goal is to emphasize the need for security controls that can resist or mitigate the impact of social engineering attacks on the physical security of the organization.

Disagree with A. I know the best defense against social engineering is typically employee training, but regardless of that training there will still be folks who want to hold the door open to be polite. Access control vestibules strictly prevent that by allowing one person through at a time. It is surely the MOST effective security control against physical intrusions of the perimeter.

to keep a company’s physical perimeter protected against intrusions leveraged. it's C.

Oy!!! Read the question. Social engineering attacks. A is the answer. The other answers are for physical reasons. Employees need training on how not to put malware (social engineering attacks) on their computers to effect their network.

Have you guys never seen an access control vestibule outdoors? A perimeter is often fenced and has an access control vestibule to enter. My vote is C. Access Control Vestibule

Who decides what is shown as the correct answer when you click reveal answer? I don't see how a Access Control Vestibule would help. Surely I can social engineer someone into letting me in.

Employee training for sure.
