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. Momentary high voltage






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






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






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






6. 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






7. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






13. 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.






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






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






16. 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.






17. 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.






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






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






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. 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.






22. Prolonged high voltage power loss






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






24. 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.






25. Space used for wires and cables. Typically an area above dropped ceilings and below raised floors. This location is where fires can easily start.






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






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






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






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






30. 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.






31. 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.






32. This type of water system delays the water release similar to a dry pipe system. However - the water is not released until a thermal-fusible link on the sprinkler head has melted. Typically used in only in data processing environments rather than a w






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






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






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






36. Prolonged loss of power






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






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






39. 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.






40. The expected lifetime of a device?






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






42. 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.






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






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






46. Class of fire that is electrical (electrical equipment - wires). Suppressed with gas - CO2 - dry powders.






47. What is used to measure humidity levels?






48. 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.






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






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