windows give you climate control problems, if someone can break from window, other options are useless, but I just want to know what's the Compa correct answer for the exam
That makes sense, but the question says "add security to the server room". Taken literally, PIVs are not physically adding security to the room, which the question implies is required.
This is from a book by Cheryl Schmidt Door lock A physical security device that
should be used for key equipment
such as servers, firewalls, switches,
and data storage devices. Even
with a locked room, it is important
to disable unused ports on
devices in case the room is
compromised.
So I think the right answer could be B. Personal Identity Verification Card, D. Entry Control Roster, and E. Door locks. I don't know which ones would be the BEST so I can choose only two.
Probably the idea of the privacy window is that you don't even know there is a server room. This obviously is a better security method then id cards if you ask me. Maybe i'm wrong but i think the answers are accurate here.
I can't help but think of this... Instead of a privacy window, just don't put up any windows, and instead, put a sign on the door saying 'This is not a server room.'
Same thoughts as you, but I will stick with E and F.
As privacy window prevent people from knowing that it is a server room, and Door lock prevents people from entering.
Personal ID card itself does not provide security unless with a access control system.
For entry control roster as well, a roster itself will not prevent intruders from entering.
Both of these needs to be use with access control system door locks.
So from the given answer logic, door locks and privacy windows creates physical barriers...
That is what I can think of.
B and E make the most sense to me. Securing the room means keeping people out. Needing a PIV card means you must have authorization to get in. Door locks also effectively keep people out and would be opened with the card. No need to protect USBs if only authorized people can enter. Access Control Rosters would be administered by a security guard, which doesn't make sense for entry to a server room. No need for a window at all. That's the way I see it.
It seems the keywords in this question are "THE server room", "the BEST for THE room". The choices given are ALL valid for this particular server room and only the best two have to be picked. In this case, having the lock on the server room door and the privacy screen on the window are two essentials and a must. The rest is secondary and can be implemented later on.
There's a more detailed explanation but the exam tip in sybex comptia study guide is: "Think of the three barriers this way: (1) outer, such as a fence; (2) middle,
such as guards, locks, and mantraps; and (3) inner, such as key fobs."
Bc PIV doesn't necessarily mean smart card/key fob I would choose lock and entry roster. In the book they mention door lock and roster as the same level and very solid form of security
I dont think its B - Personal Identity Verification Card. It is not a smart card, it would say so otherwise and the fact that some PIV cards can be a smart card still would not justify the answer. The correct answer should of been a smart card reader instead of a PIV.
Privacy screen kinda make sense because I have seen small server rooms with open windows. You can think of that as a security measure because you can see who is in there and if they are authorized to be.
A server room is a room, usually air-conditioned, devoted to the continuous operation of ... Avoiding exterior windows means avoiding a security risk, and breakages.
B should be correct because PIV cards often contain microchips for a reader. This will prevent unauthorized access into a server room much like a physical lock.
agree. Jason Dion says PIV cards are smart cards
Question
You are working for a government contractor who requires all users to use a PIV device when sending digitally signed and encrypted emails. Which of the following physical security measures is being implemented?
Answer: Smart card
Explanation
OBJ-2.1: A smart card is used in applications that need to protect personal information and/or deliver fast, secure transactions, such as transit fare payment cards, government and corporate identification cards, documents such as electronic passports and visas, and financial payment cards. Often, smart cards are used as part of a multifactor authentication system where the smart card and a PIN needs to be entered for system authentication to occur.
SImilar question to this for Security+ 501 exam. PIV Cards and door locks are absolutely correct answers. Once people get to Security+, they will see why your assertations are correct (betty_boop, who has MANY good answers on here in comments where given answers for questions are clearly wrong)
YES betty_boop has been quite an asset in here! thank you! and to you too JasonSignupHappy
