Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 252

What is the BEST design for securing physical perimeter protection?

Answer options

• A. Closed-circuit television (CCTV)
• B. Business continuity planning (BCP)
• C. Barriers, fences, gates, and walls
• D. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) focuses on the design and management of the physical environment to reduce crime opportunities. While CCTV and barriers can enhance security, they do not address the root causes of crime as effectively as CPTED. Business continuity planning (BCP) is more concerned with maintaining operations during crises rather than physical security.
