A security rule that prevents users from accessing information and resources that lie beyond the scope of their responsibilities is known as principle of least privilege.
True
An access control vestibule (a.k.a. mantrap) is a physical security access control system used to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to restricted areas. An example mantrap could be a two-door entrance point connected to a guard station wherein a person entering mantrap from the outside remains locked inside until he/she provides authentication token required to unlock the inner door.
True
Authentication process can be based on various categories of authentication factors and attributes. Authentication factors include unique physical traits of each individual such as fingerprints ("something you are"), physical tokens such as smart cards ("something you have"), or usernames and passwords ("something you know"). The categories of authentication attributes include geolocation ("somewhere you are"), user-specific activity patterns, such as keyboard typing style ("something you can do"), revealing something about an individual, e.g., wearing an ID badge ("something you exhibit"), or proving the relation with a trusted third party ("someone you know"). Multifactor authentication systems require implementation of authentication factors from two or more distinct categories.
True
In computer security, the term "Biometrics" refers to physical characteristics of the human body that can be used for identification and access control purposes.
True
In the context of physical security, a magnetometer is a device used for detecting metal objects.
True
