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 detects changes or breaks in a circuit. Examples are window strips;vibration detectors on walls - screens - ceilings - etc; pressure pads under a rug.






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






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






4. 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






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






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






7. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






8. 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.






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






10. 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.






11. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






19. 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.






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






21. Momentary power outage






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






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






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






25. What can cause static electricity?






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






34. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






42. 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.






43. 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.






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






45. 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.






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






47. 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.






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






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






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