CompTIA Security+ study material · question 212 of 611

An electronically controlled fire door loses power. Which design choice should govern its behaviour, and why?

  1. Fail-secure, because unauthorised entry must be prevented
  2. Fail-open, because availability outweighs confidentiality
  3. Fail-safe, because people must be able to get out
  4. Fail-secure, because the door is a physical control
Show the answer

Answer: C. Fail-safe, because people must be able to get out

Life safety decides the direction for egress doors, even though a firewall in the same building would fail closed.
