Its A, not D. Social engineering tricks people, not physical devices like biometrics or bollards.
Yeah, definitely A here. Social engineering relies on manipulating people, not physical objects, so a security guard is the obvious weak link compared to stuff like bollards or biometric locks. Pretty sure CompTIA wants us to focus on the human factor for these types of questions. Agree?
Probably A. Social engineering works best on people, so security guards can be tricked more easily than equipment or barriers.
Be respectful. No spam.
