\nPerimeter intrusion and detection assessment systems (PIDAS) consist of boundary fencing with motion detectors. This mechanism is good for facilities that require a higher level of protection. If an intruder comes close to a PIDAS or even begins to climb the fence, alarms alert security personnel.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'A physical security mechanism consisting of a small area with two doors used to hold an individual until his identify can be authorized is called a _______________.', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. Turnstile', 'B. Holding area', 'C. Mantrap', 'D. Man-in-the-middle' ], answer : 2, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nMantraps are used to control individuals attempting to access facilities or sensitive rooms. Typically, a person enters through a door into a small room with a second door. Once inside the mantrap, both doors are locked. The individual must then have his identity authenticated before the second door is unlocked and he is allowed inside the facility. If he is unable to prove his identity, he must wait in this area to be questioned by security. Revolving doors and turnstiles are security mechanisms often seen at corporate high-rise buildings or in hotels.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Different organizations have different physical security protection requirements, thus they require different types of controls and countermeasures. Which is NOT a legitimate justification for using security guards at a facility?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A.

\nOne of the greatest advantages of security guards, and what separates them from automated security systems, is their ability to use “discriminating judgment.” Unusual or suspicious actions are bound to occur over time, and the presence of a security guard to react to the situation is a valuable tool for a company to have.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Smoke detector placement is important to ensure that all types of fires in different parts of the building can be quickly identified. Which of the following locations is not necessarily a good place for a smoke detector?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. Raised flooring', 'B. Dropped ceiling', 'C. Exterior rear doorway', 'D. Air ducts or vents' ], answer : 2, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nSmoke detectors should be placed strategically throughout a facility. Raised floors and dropped ceilings are good places for detectors because these areas are common places for electrical wiring. Air ducts and vents are good places because in the event of a fire, air travels fluidly through these devices. A detector would not be necessary around any doorways, but instead inside the building.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'The different classes of fires indicate what type of material is burning. The classes require specific suppression agents. Which of the following is the best description of the Halon and FM-200 suppression agents?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. CO2', 'B. A gas suppressant', 'C. Water', 'd. Soda acid' ], answer : 1, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nThese types of gases interfere with the chemical reactions in a fire and act as a good suppressing agent for class B and C fires. Halon is a gas that has been used in many fire extinguishers for years and still exists in some older units. However, the EPA recently found that Halon was harmful to the ozone and potentially harmful to humans. There are several replacement agents, including FM-200, being used in new units that act just as effectively on fires as Halon.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Which security control below doesn\'t belong to the group of the other three?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. Host-based intrusion-detection system', 'B. Photoelectric system', 'C. Acoustical-seismic detection system', 'D. Passive infrared system' ], answer : 0, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nHost-based intrusion-detection system doesn’t belong with this physical-intrusion detection group. This control pertains to an individual computer and not to detecting people who may enter a facility who are not supposed to be there.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Which of the following characteristics is not true of an ideal data-processing room?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A.

CEA-410' ], answer : 1, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nBecause Halon has been found to be dangerous to both humans and the environment, an acceptable replacement list was created by the EPA: FM-200, NAF-S-III, CEA-410, FE-13, water, inergen, argon and argonite.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Doors configured in a fail-safe mode assume what position in the event of a power failure?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. Open and locked', 'B. Closed and locked', 'C. Closed and unlocked', 'D. Open' ], answer : 2, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nA company must decide how to handle physical access control in the event of power failures. In fail-safe mode, doorways are automatically unlocked. This is usually dictated by fire-codes to ensure that people do not get stuck inside a burning building. Fail-secure means that the door will default to locked.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Which of the following fire suppressing agents should not be used in an operations center containing employees?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. Gas', 'B. Soda acid', 'C. Water', 'D. CO2' ], answer : 3, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nCO2 is a dangerous gas that removes or displaces oxygen from the air. It should not be used in areas where humans are present. A Halon-substitute, water or soda acid should be used. CO2 is often used in unattended facilities or, when absolutely necessary, it is used with a delay mechanism that gives individuals a warning before it is dispersed.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'Piggybacking can be prevented best by which physical control?', img : 'http://media.techtarget.com/WhatIs/images/spacer.gif', responses : [ 'A. Turnstile', 'B. Mantrap', 'C. Badge reader', 'D. Fail-safe door' ], answer : 1, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nA mantrap offers the best control for piggybacking, because the intruder has to be identified and authenticated before entering a building or area. Piggybacking is difficult to accomplish and seldom attempted in this scenario.', moreInfo : '' }, { text : 'There are different water-suppression systems for different purposes and regions.

System pipe', 'D. Dry pipe' ], answer : 0, score : 1, expandedAnswer : '
\nThe wet pipe system, as its name implies, has water in the pipes at all times. When a fire detector initiates the system, water is released through the sprinkler heads. A dry pipe holds the water in a reserve tank and not in the pipes. In these systems, when the temperature threshold is achieved, the water is released and water fills the pipes, ultimately spraying from the sprinkler heads. A preaction system can be a wet pipe or dry pipe system.', moreInfo : '' } ] };
