Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Locks and keys

Physical access to a data centre can be checked by locks and keys.

Data centers are physical or virtual infrastructure used by enterprises to house computer, server and networking systems and components for the company's information technology (IT) needs, which typically involve storing, processing and serving large amounts of mission-critical data to clients in a client/server.

The physical security of a data centre plays a large role in ensuring data is kept safe. The scope of system security in the data centre can include corporate security policies and practices, IP network information security, anti-virus software and continued monitoring of security incidents.
