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. 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






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






3. What is used to measure humidity levels?






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






5. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






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






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






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






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






10. 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.






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






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






13. 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






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






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






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






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






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






19. 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.






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






21. 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.






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






23. The expected lifetime of a device?






24. Class of fire that is combustible metals (magnesium - sodium - potassium). Suppressed with dry powder.






25. What can cause corrosion?






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






27. Prolonged high voltage power loss






28. Class of fire that is electrical (electrical equipment - wires). Suppressed with gas - CO2 - dry powders.






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






30. 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.






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






32. 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






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






34. 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.






35. 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.






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






37. Momentary power outage






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






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






40. Momentary high voltage






41. 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.






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






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






44. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






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






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






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






48. 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?






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






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