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






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






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






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






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






7. 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.






8. 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.






9. This focal length provides a narrower view.






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






11. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






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






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






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






15. 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.






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






17. 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






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






19. 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






20. 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.






21. Momentary power outage






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






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






24. Enhanced boundary fencing with motion detectors. Used at facilities that require a high level of protection.






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






26. 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.






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






28. 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.






29. Momentary high voltage






30. 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 -






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






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






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






34. What can cause corrosion?






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






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






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






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






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






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. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. The expected lifetime of a device?
