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. 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.






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






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






4. Why does the value of property with the facility and the value of the facility itself need to be ascertained?






5. 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






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






7. 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.






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






9. 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






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






11. What is used to measure humidity levels?






12. 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.






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






14. 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.






15. 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






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






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






18. The last line of defense in physical security?






19. 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)






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






29. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






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






31. 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.






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






45. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






46. Momentary power outage






47. 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.






48. 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.






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. This focal length provides a narrower view.
