CISSP Physical Security

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. These reduce the accidental discharge of water because the water does not enter the pipes until an automatic fire sensor indicates there is an actual fire. Should be used in location with freezing temperatures.






2. Concept of installing lighting to be directed towards where potential intruders would be coming from. Example - entrance to military base with bright lights pointing outward to entrance.






3. This is when unauthorized access is achieved to a facility via another individual's legitimate access - and is a common concern with physical security.






4. If an electrical supply fails and a door defaults to closed and locked - which mode is this?






5. These need to be able to hold the necessary load and provide the required fire rating.






6. This focal length provides a narrower view.






7. Momentary high voltage






8. What needs to be evaluated for their protective characteristics - their utility - and their cost and benefits.






9. This should be located within 50 feet of electrical equipment and should be inspected quarterly.






10. Halon - FM-200 - and other Halon substitutes are examples of what?






11. Enhanced boundary fencing with motion detectors. Used at facilities that require a high level of protection.






12. What can cause corrosion?






13. Class of fire that is assigned to commercial kitchens and the fire dangers that exist within them. Suppressing agent used in class K fires is wet chemicals.






14. Type of window that is the strongest window available today. Resistant to breakage - chemicals - fires - and abrasions. They are also extremely expensive.






15. This type of lock has more pieces and parts that a warded lock. It uses spring-loaded pins that need to be in the right position to open the lock.






16. These are expensive but provide flexibility in response to security breaches and can deter intruders from attempting an attack.






17. Type of window that is stronger than standard glass and acrylic windows - but produces a toxic gas if burned.






18. What documentation should be readily available and periodically reviewed and updated.






19. Class of fire that is common combustibles (wood - paper - and laminates). Suppressed with water or foam.






20. This type of lock is programmable and uses a keypad. Can contain a specific code that will open the door and initiate a remote alarm if an employee is under duress.






21. These types of lines protect from electrical and magnetic induction - which causes interference to the power voltage.






22. An electrical circuit that receives input light from the lens and converts it into an electronic signal - which is then displayed on a monitor. Allows the capture of extraordinary details of objects because its sensors work in the infrared range. Doe






23. This is a disturbance of power and can be cause by electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI)






24. Fire suppressant that reduces the temperature of the fire?






25. If an electrical supply fails and a door defaults to closed and unlocked - which mode is this?






26. This gas is no longer available because it depletes the ozone. Becomes toxic in temperatures greater than 900 degrees F in concentrations greater than 10%. Existing fire extinguishers can be refilled with FM-200 - NAF-S-III - CEA-410 - FE-13 - Water






27. This type of interference can be caused by lightning - motors - and the current difference between wires.






28. Type of window that contains glass that was heated and cooled to improve integrity and strength?






29. Type of task that identifies how data flows through the company. Lists all pieces of an environment and how they interact. Redundant paths should be shown.






30. This is a proximity identification device that does not require action by the user. The reader transmits signals to the device - and the device responds with an access code.






31. This power source is a backup in case the primary source fails.






32. Type of IDS that detects changes or breaks in a circuit. Examples are window strips;vibration detectors on walls - screens - ceilings - etc; pressure pads under a rug.






33. Type of IDS that detects changes in a light beam. Can only be used in windowless rooms.






34. Type of fence that uses 2 inch mesh - 9 gauge wiring






35. Fire suppressant that reduces the oxygen of a fire?






36. This should be turned off before activation of a fire suppressant to ensure it stays in the needed area and that smoke is not distributed to different areas of the facility.






37. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






38. Device locks intended to protect hardware from theft. Use for mobile devices and lock them to a secure feature of an environment.






39. NIST standard that says critical areas should be illuminated 8 feet high - and use this unit that represents the illumination power of an individual light?






40. These need to have shutoff valves and positive drains (substance flows out instead of in).






41. This can be costly and unsightly - but can provide crowd control and help control access to the facility.






42. What system should maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity levels and provide closed-loop recirculating air-conditioning and positive pressurization and ventilation.






43. What is used to measure humidity levels?






44. Type of fence that will protect a critical are?






45. These are threats to what? Interruption of services - theft - physical damage - unauthorized disclosure - and loss of system integrity.






46. This type of water system delays the water release similar to a dry pipe system. However - the water is not released until a thermal-fusible link on the sprinkler head has melted. Typically used in only in data processing environments rather than a w






47. The temperature at which most computers will experience major damage?






48. Class of fire that is liquid (petroleum - coolants). Suppressed with gas - CO2 - form - dry powders.






49. This should be clearly marked - and security guards should be trained how to identify when these items leave the facility in an improper manner.






50. Class of fire that is combustible metals (magnesium - sodium - potassium). Suppressed with dry powder.
