CompTIA Security+ study material · question 604 of 611

Why are badge readers and visitor logs treated as part of access management rather than facilities work?

  1. Because they generate log entries
  2. Because they are required by every regulation
  3. Because they enforce who may physically reach a device, which is the last line before console access
  4. Because they are managed by the same team as logical access
Show the answer

Answer: C. Because they enforce who may physically reach a device, which is the last line before console access

Someone at the console can bypass most logical controls, so physical access is part of the same discipline.
