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






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






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






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






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






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






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. 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.






9. 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.






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






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






13. What can cause corrosion?






14. What documentation should be readily available and periodically reviewed and updated.






15. 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.






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






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. 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.






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






20. 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.






21. Type of IDS that detects changes in a light beam. Can only be used in windowless rooms.






22. 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.






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






24. 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






25. 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.






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






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






28. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






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






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 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.






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






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






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






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






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






37. Momentary high voltage






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






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






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






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






42. This is a colorless - odorless - and potentially lethal substance because it removes oxygen from the air in order to suppress fires.






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






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






45. 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?






46. This should be located within 50 feet of electrical equipment and should be inspected quarterly.






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






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






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






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