25 Questions

1. 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.

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

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

4. 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

5. 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.

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

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

8. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16. Momentary high voltage

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

18. 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.

19. 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.

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

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

22. Prolonged loss of power

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

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

25. 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
