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






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






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






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






5. 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.






6. This type of interference can be caused by electrical system mechanisms - fluorescent lighting - and electrical cables.






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






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






9. Momentary power outage






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






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






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






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






14. 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?






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






16. 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.






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






18. 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






19. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






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






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






23. This focal length provides a narrower view.






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. Prolonged high voltage power loss






31. 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.






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






33. 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.






34. What can cause static electricity?






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






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






37. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






38. 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.






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






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






41. The expected lifetime of a device?






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






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






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






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






46. 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.






47. 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.






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 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.






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