CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 643

A university is opening a facility in a location where there is an elevated risk of theft. The university wants to protect the desktops in its classrooms and labs. Which of the following should the university use to BEST protect these assets deployed in the facility?

Answer options

• A. Visitor logs
• B. Cable locks
• C. Guards
• D. Disk encryption
• E. Motion detection

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Cable locks provide a physical means to secure desktops, making it difficult for thieves to steal the equipment. While visitor logs, guards, disk encryption, and motion detection can enhance security, they do not offer the same level of direct protection against the physical theft of desktop computers.
