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. Fire suppressant that reduces the temperature of the fire?






2. Type of IDS that generates a pattern that is sent over a sensitive area and reflected back to a receiver.






3. 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?






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






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






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






7. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






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






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






10. 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.






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






12. 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






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






24. Type of IDS that detects changes in a light beam. Can only be used in windowless rooms.






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






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






35. 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.






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






37. What can cause static electricity?






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






39. 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.






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






41. 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






42. What is used to measure humidity levels?






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






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






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






47. 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






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






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






50. 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.
