Which term describes the concept of isolating a highly secure area within a facility?

• A. Enclaving
• B. Perimetering
• C. Zoning
• D. Segmentation

Answer: (A)

Enclaving describes creating a protected, self-contained secure zone inside a larger facility. The idea is to establish a distinct enclave with extra barriers, access controls, and monitoring around sensitive operations or assets, so only authorized personnel can enter. This focuses on isolating that high-security area from the rest of the building.

Perimetering would emphasize the outer boundary rather than an interior secure pocket. Zoning partitions space for management of access across different areas but doesn’t inherently imply an isolated, highly secure core. Segmentation involves dividing spaces or networks to limit risk, not specifically the act of isolating a secure area inside a facility.
