CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 75

Several attempts have been made to pick the door lock of a secure facility. As a result, the security engineer has been assigned to implement a stronger preventative access control. Which of the following would BEST complete the engineer's assignment?

Answer options

• A. Replacing the traditional key with an RFID key
• B. Installing and monitoring a camera facing the door
• C. Setting motion-sensing lights to illuminate the door on activity
• D. Surrounding the property with fencing and gates

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because an RFID key offers a more advanced and secure method of access control compared to traditional keys, which can be easily duplicated or picked. Options B and C provide monitoring and lighting but do not prevent unauthorized access. Option D enhances physical security but does not directly address the access control method.
