CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep

Answer: C - Internal compartments should not be used in protected areas or to create barriers between areas. Internal partitions are used to create barriers between one area and another. These partitions can be used to segment separate work areas, but should never be used in protected areas that house sensitive systems and devices. Many buildings have dropped ceilings, meaning the interior partitions do not extend to the true ceiling-only to the dropped ceiling. An intruder can lift a ceiling panel and climb over the partition. In many situations, this would not require forced entry, specialized tools, or much effort. These types of internal partitions should not be relied upon to provide protection for sensitive areas.
