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. This is a double door facility used for physical access control.






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






3. 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.






4. Type of fence that will protect a top level security area?






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






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






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






8. The estimated time it will take to repair a device and get it back into production






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






10. Space used for wires and cables. Typically an area above dropped ceilings and below raised floors. This location is where fires can easily start.






11. 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.






12. 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.






13. Type of IDS that uses microphones installed on floors - walls - or ceilings to detect any should made during a forced entry. Can be subject to a large amount of false positives.






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






15. 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.






16. What is used to measure humidity levels?






17. 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 -






18. This type of water system has its sprinkler systems wide open to allow a larger volume of water to be released in a short period. These systems are typically not used in data processing environments.






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






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






21. This is a colorless - odorless - and potentially lethal substance because it removes oxygen from the air in order to suppress fires.






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






23. Type of IDS that emits a measurable magnetic field and detects changes in capacitance. This allows it to detect when something/someone comes within a certain range of an object. Usually used to protect specific objects (artwork - cabinets - or a safe






24. This type of noise is disturbance imposed on a power line that causes electrical interference.






25. This focal length provides a narrower view.






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






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






28. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






29. 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






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






31. Type of iris lens that would be used in an area where light changes.






32. This should be protected from destruction - modification - theft - unauthorized copying - and disclosure.






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






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






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






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






37. Type of fence that uses 3/8 inch mesh and 11 gauge wiring






38. 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.






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






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






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






42. These can be penetrated - expensive to install and monitor - require human response - and are subject to false alarms. Examples are motion detectors - CCTV's - vibration sensors - and electromechanical devices.






43. These should go all the way up to the true ceiling. Otherwise - an intruded can remove a ceiling tile and climb over this into a critical portion of the facility.






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






45. This type of lock is a basic padlock with a spring loaded bolt with a notch cut in it. Cheapest lock - because of their lack of any real sophistication - and also the easiest to pick.






46. Type of light that is activated when a motion sensor (or some other IDS) is activated?






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






48. Momentary power outage






49. 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.






50. These can be user activated (action needs to be taken by a user) or system sensing (no action needs to be taken by the user)
