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






2. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






3. What can cause corrosion?






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. What can cause static electricity?






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






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






13. 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.






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. Tokens used in physical security to authentication subjects?






30. 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.






31. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






37. 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






38. 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.






39. 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.






40. The last line of defense in physical security?






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






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






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






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






45. 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.






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






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






48. These condition an electrical line to keep voltage steady and clean.






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






50. 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.
