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. 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.






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






3. This focal length provides a narrower view.






4. This gas is no longer available because it depletes the ozone. Becomes toxic in temperatures greater than 900 degrees F in concentrations greater than 10%. Existing fire extinguishers can be refilled with FM-200 - NAF-S-III - CEA-410 - FE-13 - Water






5. 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






6. What is used to measure humidity levels?






7. 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.






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






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






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






11. 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






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






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






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






15. This focal length provides wide-angle views.






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






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






18. 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.






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






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






21. 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.






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






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






24. 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






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






26. 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






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






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






29. Momentary high voltage






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






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






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






38. NIST standard that says critical areas should be illuminated 8 feet high - and use this unit that represents the illumination power of an individual light?






39. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






45. 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)






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






47. 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.






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






49. What can cause corrosion?






50. Prolonged loss of power
