Episode 79 — Architectural Security — Camouflage, Blocking, and Reinforcements

Certified - CompTIA Server+ Audio Course

This episode focuses on architectural techniques for securing server facilities, including camouflage to conceal data center locations, structural barriers to block physical intrusion, and reinforcements to strengthen walls, doors, and entry points. We explain how these measures complement traditional access controls by reducing the likelihood of targeted attacks or forced entry.

We provide exam-focused and operational examples, such as using reflective glass to prevent visual reconnaissance or reinforced doors to protect against break-ins. Troubleshooting considerations include maintaining these features over time and ensuring they do not interfere with safety or operational requirements. Mastery of architectural security concepts ensures candidates can recommend design features that enhance overall facility protection.
