QuestionQ47

Security and disaster recovery

A technician is reviewing a server configuration to protect it against physical threats. The technician examines the BIOS and finds this boot order:

  • USB Drive
  • CDROM Drive
  • Network Adapter
  • RAID Controller

In addition, the server’s host OS is stored on mirrored drives. Which action should the technician take to secure the server?

Explanation

Because the host operating system is on mirrored drives accessed through the RAID controller, the RAID controller must remain enabled as the boot device. Disabling USB, CD-ROM, and network boot prevents an individual with physical access from starting the server from alternate media or a network-based environment.
