Technique Subclasses
There are 5 techniques in this category, Physical Access Monitoring.
| Name | ID | Definition | Synonyms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical Access Monitoring | D3-PHAM | Monitoring the physical access of a specified environment through detection, recording, reviewing, and logging of who/what enters and exists areas. | |
| - Electronic Lock Monitoring | D3-ELM | Monitoring electronic lock and door hardware states and access events (e.g., locked/unlocked, access granted/denied, door forced/held, tamper) to detect and respond to unauthorized entry. | Door Lock Monitoring , and Lock State Monitoring |
| - Motion Sensor Monitoring | D3-MSM | Monitoring events from motion detectors (e.g., passive IR, microwave, dual-technology) to detect presence or movement within protected areas. | Motion Alarm Monitoring , and Motion Detector Monitoring |
| - Proximity Sensor Monitoring | D3-PSM | Monitoring events from proximity sensors that indicate a credential or tagged asset is within the sensor’s read range or a defined zone. Common enabling technologies include RFID, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Ultra-Wideband (UWB). | Proximity Reader Monitoring , and RFID Reader Monitoring |
| - Video Surveillance | D3-VS | Monitoring of physical areas via camera video feeds to deter, detect, and investigate unauthorized access and related security events. | CCTV Surveillance , and Video Monitoring |
