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






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






3. 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.






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






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






6. Momentary power outage






7. These are expensive but provide flexibility in response to security breaches and can deter intruders from attempting an attack.






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






9. 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.






10. Prolonged loss of power






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






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






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






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






15. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






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






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






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






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






32. Type of window that is stronger than standard glass and acrylic windows - but produces a toxic gas if burned.






33. 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?






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






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






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






37. Momentary high voltage






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






39. This can be costly and unsightly - but can provide crowd control and help control access to the facility.






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






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






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






43. 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






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






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






46. Prolonged high voltage power loss






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






48. 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.






49. This focal length provides a narrower view.






50. 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.
