Study Notes
- Access control vestibules are small rooms used by organizations to regulate access to secure areas, such as data centers.
- These rooms typically have multiple doors: one leading to the secure area and one or more leading to the vestibule itself.
- Access to the vestibule may be controlled through various means, including unlocked doors, badge readers, or biometric authentication.
- Once inside the vestibule, individuals may be required to provide additional authentication or clearance before entering the secure area.
- Some vestibules have features that limit the number of people able to enter at once, ensuring that only authorized individuals gain access.
- Proximity cards, often used in combination with door locks or access readers, are a common security feature.
- These cards can be magnetic or use radio frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) technology to grant access.
- Video surveillance systems, also known as closed circuit television (CCTV), are common security measures in secure environments.
- Such systems can provide live or recorded footage of areas, as well as capabilities such as license plate recognition or facial recognition.
- Alarm systems are another common security feature, designed to alert security personnel of unauthorized access or other security breaches.
- Door locks, which can be conventional, electronic, or biometric, are used to secure doors and prevent unauthorized entry.
- In data centers, racks may be securely locked to protect the equipment inside.
- Security guards are employed in many facilities to provide on-site security, including checking identification and granting access to authorized individuals.
