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






2. 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.






3. Prolonged loss of power






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






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






6. What can cause static electricity?






7. 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.






8. 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.






9. 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.






10. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






12. What is used to measure humidity levels?






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






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






15. 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.






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






17. 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.






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






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






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






21. 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)






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






29. Prolonged high voltage power loss






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






31. 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.






32. Momentary high voltage






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






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






35. Momentary power outage






36. 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






37. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






43. 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.






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






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






46. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






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






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






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






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