Question

You are responsible for hospital security. Because many computers are used by multiple employees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, controlling physical access to the computers is very difficult. This is further complicated by the large number of nonemployees moving through the building. You are concerned about unauthorized access to patient records. What would best address this problem?

Explanation

Smart cards provide a reliable, user-specific authentication factor for employees accessing shared computers, preventing someone who merely has physical access to a workstation from accessing patient records without the authorized user’s card.
