CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) E4 Physical Security M

Brute Force attacks involve gaining access by trying all possibilities and do not focus on Forcible Entry Act.

Tampering with security devices can create new vulnerabilities and redundancy in physical security measures is important.

Surveillance Systems do not include video surveillance and sensors.

Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) System cannot move the camera to better detect issues during an intrusion.

Best places for cameras include data centers, telecommunications closets, and entrance or exit areas.

Infrared Sensors detect changes in ultraviolet radiation.

Pressure Sensors are activated when a specified minimum weight is detected and are embedded into floors or mats.

Microwave Sensors emit microwave pulses and measure reflection off moving objects.

Ultrasonic Sensors measure reflection of ultrasonic waves off moving objects.

Access Control Vestibules are not designed to prevent piggybacking and tailgating.

Piggybacking involves two people working together, one with legitimate access allowing unauthorized person to enter a secure area.

Tailgating involves an unauthorized person closely following someone with legitimate access into a secured area.

Access control vestibules are usually integrated with electronic badges and operated by a security guard at the entrance to a secure facility or office building

Piggybacking uses social engineering to gain consent of the person with legitimate access

Tailgating doesn’t use or obtain the consent of the person with legitimate access

Door Locks are a critical physical security control measure designed to restrict and regulate access to specific spaces or properties

Traditional padlocks are easily defeated and offer minimal protection

Modern electronic door locks utilize various authentication methods for enhanced security

Wireless signals for electronic door locks utilize technologies like NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or RFID for unlocking

Biometric authentication methods rely on physical characteristics like fingerprints, retinal scans, or facial recognition

Biometric challenges include False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR), and Crossover Error Rate (CER)

Some electronic door locks use multiple factors, such as an identification number and fingerprint, to increase security

Access badge cloning is common because of its ease of execution, ability to be stealthy when conducting the attack, and potentially widespread use in compromising physical security

Implementing advanced encryption in card-based authentication systems can help stop access badge cloning

Physical security measures are designed to protect intangible assets such as data and information.

Fences and bollards are considered primitive tools for safeguarding assets and people.

Access control vestibules utilize a single-door system to prevent unauthorized entry.

Electronic access control systems can include the use of RFID or NFC technology for access.

Wireless locks are not utilized as a form of door locks in physical security.

Surveillance systems may include components such as video surveillance, security guards, lighting, and sensors.

Piggybacking and tailgating are not considered threats in physical security.

Access badges can utilize Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or Near Field Communication (NFC) for access.
