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






2. 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.






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






4. Type of fire suppressant that suppresses the fuel supply of common combustibles?






5. 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.






6. The last line of defense in physical security?






7. 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.






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






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






10. This focal length provides a narrower view.






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






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






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






14. 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.






15. 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






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






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






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






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






20. 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






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






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






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






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






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






26. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. 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.






34. This concept combines the physical environment and sociology issues that surround it to reduce crime rates and the fear of crime.






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






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






37. What is used to measure humidity levels?






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






39. 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






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






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






42. 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.






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






44. What can cause corrosion?






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






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






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






48. The expected lifetime of a device?






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






50. 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.
