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






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






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






4. 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.






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






6. 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.






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






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






9. 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.






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






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






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






13. What can cause static electricity?






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






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






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






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






18. 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






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






20. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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






28. 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.






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






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






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






32. 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.






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






34. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






35. 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.






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






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






38. The expected lifetime of a device?






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






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






42. 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 -






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






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






45. 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.






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






47. Momentary power outage






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






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






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