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 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.






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






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






4. 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






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






6. Momentary power outage






7. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






9. These are usually planned and implemented by power companies when they are experiencing high demand.






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






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






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






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






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






15. What can cause static electricity?






16. Type of iris lens that would be used in an area of fixed lighting.






17. Momentary high voltage






18. This focal length provides a narrower view.






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






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






21. 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.






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






23. 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?






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






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






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






27. The following are examples of what type of control? Drills and exercises of emergency procedures - simulation testing - documentation - inspections and reports - pre-screening of employees - post-employment procedures - delegation of responsibility a






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






29. 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.






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






31. What is used to measure humidity levels?






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






33. 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.






34. 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






35. This type of water system always contains water in the pipes and are usually controlled by temperature control level sensors.






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






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






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






39. 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






40. 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.






41. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






47. This type of interference can be caused by electrical system mechanisms - fluorescent lighting - and electrical cables.






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






49. These systems require human response - can cause false alarms - and depend on a constant power supply - so these protection systems should be backed up by other types of security systems.






50. What is the more important than protecting a facility or the assets it contains?
