Locks, Gates, and Guards

C.

Administrative, technical and physical controls are categories of access control mechanisms.

Logical and Technical controls are synonymous.So both of them could be eliminated as possible choices.

Physical Controls: These are controls to protect the organizations people and physical environment, such as locks, gates, and guards.

Physical controls may be called "operational controls" in some contexts.

Physical security covers a broad spectrum of controls to protect the physical assets (primarily the people) in an organization.

Physical Controls are sometimes referred to as "operational" controls in some risk management frameworks.

These controls range from doors, locks, and windows to environment controls, construction standards, and guards.

Typically, physical security is based on the notion of establishing security zones or concentric areas within a facility that require increased security as you get closer to the valuable assets inside the facility.

Security zones are the physical representation of the defense-in-depth principle discussed earlier in this chapter.

Typically, security zones are associated with rooms, offices, floors, or smaller elements, such as a cabinet or storage locker.

The design of the physical security controls within the facility must take into account the protection of the asset as well as the individuals working in that area.

Access control is the practice of restricting or granting access to resources or information to authorized personnel only. It involves using various controls to ensure that only authorized users are able to access resources.

Locks, gates, and guards are examples of physical controls. Physical controls are measures put in place to prevent unauthorized access to physical resources or areas. These controls can be used to restrict access to buildings, rooms, or other physical assets.

Administrative controls are policies, procedures, and guidelines that are implemented to manage access to resources. These controls are often used to ensure that personnel are following security policies and procedures.

Technical controls are security measures implemented using technology. These controls are often used to manage access to resources and can include authentication mechanisms, access control lists, and firewalls.

Logical controls are measures put in place to ensure that only authorized users are able to access digital resources. These controls can be used to restrict access to files, databases, or other digital assets.

In summary, locks, gates, and guards are examples of physical controls used in access control to restrict unauthorized access to physical resources or areas.
