CPTED concepts were developed in the 1960s. They have been expanded upon and have matured as our environments and crime types have evolved. CPTED has been used not just to develop corporate physical security programs, but also for large-scale activities such as development of neighborhoods, towns, and cities.

QUESTION: 55 Topic: 1, Access Control

The following is NOT a security characteristic we need to consider while choosing a biometric identification systems:

data acquisition process
cost
enrollment process
speed and user interface

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Cost is a factor when considering Biometrics but it is not a security characteristic.
All the other answers are incorrect because they are security characteristics related to Biometrics.
data acquisition process can cause a security concern because if the process is not fast and efficient it can discourage individuals from using the process.
enrollment process can cause a security concern because the enrollment process has to be quick
and efficient. This process captures data for authentication.
speed and user interface can cause a security concern because this also impacts the users acceptance rate of biometrics. If they are not comfortable with the interface and speed they might sabotage the devices or otherwise attempt to circumvent them.
