Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 677

An unauthorized individual has socially engineered entry into an organization's secured physical premises. Which of the following is the BEST way to prevent future occurrences?

Answer options

• A. Require security access badges
• B. Employ security guards
• C. Install security cameras
• D. Conduct security awareness training

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Conducting security awareness training is crucial as it educates employees about social engineering tactics, helping them recognize and respond to such threats. While requiring access badges, employing security guards, and installing cameras can enhance physical security, they do not directly address the human factors that allow social engineering to succeed.
