Question 1:
Correct
While reviewing video files from your organization's security cameras, you notice a
suspicious person using piggybacking to gain access to your building. The
individual in question did not have a security badge.
Which of the following security measures would you MOST likely implement to keep
this from happening in the future?
Answer
Lo-jack recovery service
Door locks with card readers
Correct Answer:
Access control vestibule
Cable locks
Explanation
You could implement an access control vestibule (ACV) at each entrance to the
facility. An ACV is a specialized entrance with two doors that creates a security
buffer zone between two areas. Once a person enters into the space between the
doors, both doors are locked. To enter the facility, authentication must be
provided. If authentication is not provided, the intruder is kept in the access
control vestibule until authorities arrive.
Cable locks are used to secure computer hardware.
In this scenario, door locks with card readers were already circumvented with the
piggybacking technique.
Lo-jack recovery services are used to locate stolen or misplaced computer hardware.

Question 2:
Correct
Which of the following can be paired with a motion sensor to improve security?
Answer
Correct Answer:
Lights
,Cable lock
Door lock
Magnetometer

Cable locks, door locks, and magnetometers would not be paired with a motion sensor
to improve security.

Question 3:
Incorrect
Which of the following door locks provides authentication to a specific lock over a
Bluetooth connection?
Answer
Correct Answer:
Key fob
Biometric
Incorrect answer:
Smart card
Standard lock
Explanation
A key fob provides a keyless authentication to a specific lock. The key fob may use
a wireless radio signal, NFC, or Bluetooth to communicate with the lock.
Smart cards also provide a keyless authentication to a specific lock. Smart cards
typically use RFID or NFC to communicate with the lock and need to be scanned by a
special reader to open the lock. Smart cards do not use Bluetooth.
Biometric locks can provide authentication to a lock using a user's unique physical
traits. Biometric locks do not use Bluetooth.
A standard lock uses a key, not Bluetooth.

Question 4:
Correct
A public library has purchased new laptop computers to replace their older desktop
computers and is concerned that they are vulnerable to theft.
Which of the following laptop features should they use to physically secure the new
laptops?
Answer
Correct Answer:
Cable locks
A multi-factor password policy
Biometric authentication
An external encryption device
Explanation
Cable locks can be used to physically secure laptops in order to deter theft.
Biometric authentication, a multi-factor password policy, or external encryption
devices do not physically secure laptops.

Question 5:
Correct
You have five salespeople who work out of your office and who frequently leave
their laptops laying on their desks in their cubicles. You are concerned that
someone might walk by and take one of these laptops.
Which of the following is the BEST protection method to address your concerns?
Answer
Encrypt all company data on the hard drives.
, Implement screen saver passwords.
Correct Answer:
Use cable locks to chain the laptops to the desks.
Require strong passwords in the Local Security Policy.
Explanation
Your main concern, in this case, is with the laptops being stolen. The best
protection against physical theft is to secure the laptops in place using cable
locks.
Requiring strong passwords or using encryption might prevent unauthorized users
from accessing data on the laptops, but doing so does not prevent physical theft.
