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






2. 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.






3. 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






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






5. 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.






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






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






8. Prolonged high voltage power loss






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






10. 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.






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






12. 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.






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. Fire suppressant that modifies that chemical combustion elements of a fire?






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






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






17. What should dust and other air contaminants be kept to an appropriate level?






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






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






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






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






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






23. 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.






24. 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.






25. When should the following items be evaluated? Local crime - natural disaster possibilities - distance to hospitals - police - fire stations - airports - and railroads.






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






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






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






29. Type of light that is programmed to turn on and off a predetermined times?






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






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






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






33. 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.






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






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






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






37. 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






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






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






40. 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






41. 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.






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






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






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






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






46. 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.






47. Type of fence that will deter a casual intruder?






48. 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






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






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)
