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. Prolonged loss of power






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






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






4. Momentary high voltage






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






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






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






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






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






10. 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.






11. What documentation should be readily available and periodically reviewed and updated.






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 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.






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






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






16. 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.






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






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






19. This type of water system has its sprinkler systems wide open to allow a larger volume of water to be released in a short period. These systems are typically not used in data processing environments.






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






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






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






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






24. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






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






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






28. 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






29. 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.






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






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






32. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






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






34. Prolonged high voltage power loss






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






36. 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.






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






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






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






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






41. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. These can be user activated (action needs to be taken by a user) or system sensing (no action needs to be taken by the user)






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