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






2. 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.






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






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






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






6. Prolonged high voltage power loss






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






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






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






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






11. Momentary high voltage






12. 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






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






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






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






16. 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.






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






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






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






20. 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.






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






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






23. 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






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






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






26. This focal length provides a narrower view.






27. When should the following items be evaluated? Local crime - natural disaster possibilities - distance to hospitals - police - fire stations - airports - and railroads.






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






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






30. Class of fire that is assigned to commercial kitchens and the fire dangers that exist within them. Suppressing agent used in class K fires is wet chemicals.






31. 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.






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






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






34. 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.






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






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






37. 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.






38. 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






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






40. The last line of defense in physical security?






41. 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.






42. These use battery packs that range in size and capacity to provide power backup and protection. These factors should be reviewed: size of the electrical load it can support - the speed with which it can assume the load when the primary source fails -






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






44. 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.






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






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






47. What is used to measure humidity levels?






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






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






50. 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.
