Question 17
A company decides to implement strict access controls that require multiple forms of verification to enter its data centers. What is a potential trade-off of this decision?
- A It might decrease the cost of maintaining data center security, thereby benefiting the company
- B It may increase operational complexity and delay response times during critical situations
- C It will reduce the overall security of the data centers by adding more complexity and delays
- D It could limits the types of data that can be processed and stored within the data centers
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Implementing strict access controls enhances security by limiting potential unauthorized access, but it can also complicate operations and delay responses when quick access is necessary, especially in emergency situations. The types of data processed and stored are generally not affected by the physical access controls to the data centers. Implementing stricter access controls typically increases, not decreases, operational costs due to the need for more sophisticated security technology and administration. Adding multiple verification steps generally increases security, not reduces it, by making unauthorized access more difficult.
