I agree, CPTED is all about preventing crime through design!

Wait, NIST CSF for a campus? That seems off.

ISO 17799 sounds familiar, but not sure it fits here.

I think BS 7799-3 is more about info security, not physical.

CPTED is definitely the way to go for physical security!

NIST CSF is great for cybersecurity frameworks, but I don't think it applies to physical campus design like CPTED does.

ISO 17799 sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically addresses crime prevention in design.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think BS 7799-3 is more about information security management rather than physical security.

I remember studying CPTED in class; it focuses on designing spaces to reduce crime, so I think that's the right answer.

I think the answer is CPTED. It makes sense that the security consultant would focus on the physical design of the campus to deter criminal activity, rather than something more IT-focused like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. It's not entirely clear to me what the "best practices" the security consultant would have used are. I'll need to carefully read through each option and see which one seems to best fit the scenario.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about deterring criminal behavior, so I'm guessing the security consultant would have looked at industry standards or frameworks related to physical and cybersecurity. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each option.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know CPTED is related to physical security, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach for an IoT manufacturer. Maybe I should review the other options more closely.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

Ah, the age-old debate: CPTED vs. NIST CSF. I wonder if the consultant also considered using a SWOT analysis and a PESTLE assessment.

I'm going with CPTED. Gotta love those catchy security acronyms. Next up, the consultant will recommend HVAC and BYOD policies.

Ha! BS 7799-3? What is this, a British crime novel? I don't think the IoT manufacturer is looking to hire Sherlock Holmes as their security consultant.

I disagree, CPTED is too focused on physical security. The consultant would have likely suggested ISO 17799 or NIST CSF, which cover a broader range of security best practices.

CPTED is the obvious choice here. Designing the campus environment to deter criminal behavior is exactly what the security consultant would have recommended.
