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






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






3. Prolonged high voltage power loss






4. Type of fence that uses 1 inch mesh and 11 gauge wiring






5. These should be located on and above suspended ceilings - below raised floors - and in air ducts to provide maximum fire detection.






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






7. These use battery packs that range in size and capacity to provide power backup and protection. These factors should be reviewed: size of the electrical load it can support - the speed with which it can assume the load when the primary source fails -






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






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






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






11. 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.






12. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






13. These condition an electrical line to keep voltage steady and clean.






14. These controls help minimize the resulting damage and speed the recovery process






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






16. This focal length provides a narrower view.






17. 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.






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






19. 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?






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






21. What can cause corrosion?






22. This power source is used in day-to-day operations.






23. 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.






24. 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.






25. These controls can be time consuming and error prone and and require constant attention.






26. Items that a fire needs to burn? To suppress it - one of them should be reduced or eliminated.






27. 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.






28. 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






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






30. Type of IDS that detects changes in heat waves in an area.






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






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






33. Type of light that provides an even amount of light across an area?






34. 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






35. The expected lifetime of a device?






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






37. Momentary power outage






38. The first line of defense against environmental risks and unpredictable human behavior






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






40. Type of fire suppressant that suppresses the fuel supply of common combustibles?






41. This concept combines the physical environment and sociology issues that surround it to reduce crime rates and the fear of crime.






42. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






43. Prolonged loss of power






44. This is used to deter trespassing and to enable people to enter a facility through a few controlled entrances.






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






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






47. This refers to the portion of the environment that is in focus when shown on a monitor. This increases as the size of the lens opening decreases - the subject distance increases - or the focal length of the lens decreases.






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






49. This is a specific type of smoke-activate fire alarm that detects changes in light intensity.






50. Class of fire that is electrical (electrical equipment - wires). Suppressed with gas - CO2 - dry powders.
