A malicious person gained access to a datacenter by ripping the proximity badge reader off the
wall near the datacenter entrance. This caused the electronic locks on the datacenter door to
release because the:
 
A.
 badge reader was improperly installed.
B.
 system was designed to fail open for life-safety.
C.
 system was installed in a fail closed configuration.
D.
 system used magnetic locks and the locks became demagnetized.

is lost – in this case the proximity badge reader was ripped off the wall.
