Submit
6. Which of the following is often associated with the concept of protection in depth?

Explanation

Protection in depth is a security strategy that recommends layering security measures throughout an information system. Compartmentalisation, the practice of dividing a system into smaller isolated components, is a key aspect of this strategy as it helps contain breaches and limit the impact of potential attacks.

Submit
7. Loss prevention, loss control and loss indemnification are the three major components of:

Explanation

Loss prevention, loss control, and loss indemnification are all important aspects of managing risk within an organization. Risk management encompasses these elements and involves identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks, followed by coordinating and implementing resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events.

Submit
8. An indication that a loss-producing event might take place is called a:

Explanation

Explanation

The denial of adversary action is resource-intensive because it involves continuous monitoring, analysis, and response capabilities that can strain an organization's resources.

Submit
10. In the concept of protection in depth, we find that a common characteristic of the inner layer is that:

Explanation

Protection in depth involves the establishment of multiple layers of protection, with each layer adding to the overall security of the system. Therefore, the correct answer is that several inner layers are established to enhance security.

Submit
11. Natural and physical barriers generally ____.

Explanation

Natural and physical barriers typically dissuade or prevent individuals who are unsure or undetermined, rather than attracting them or confusing them. Encouraging the unmotivated would not align with the purpose of barriers.

Submit
12. The width of a perimeter clear zone will depend on the threat being protected against. An exception can be made when:

Explanation

The correct answer highlights a specific scenario where an exception can be made in determining the width of a perimeter clear zone. The incorrect answers provide alternative scenarios or statements that do not align with the exception mentioned in the correct answer.

Submit
13. What is the purpose of a top rail on a chain link fence?

Explanation

The top rail on a chain link fence does not necessarily add aesthetic appeal, prevent animals from entering, or significantly strengthen the fence. Instead, it can serve as a convenient handhold for potential intruders to climb over the fence.

Submit
14. Which of the following barriers can be breached quickly with a blanket and a bolt cutter?

Explanation

A chain link fence can be easily cut through using a bolt cutter. A concrete wall would require heavy machinery to breach, a barbed wire fence would be difficult to pass without getting injured, and a metal gate would likely take more time and effort to breach compared to a chain link fence.

Submit
15. What can be added to a concrete fence to make it a more effective barrier?

Explanation

Metal spikes are a physical deterrent that can prevent intruders from easily climbing over the fence, increasing the effectiveness of the barrier. Barbed wire, electric wires, and CCTV cameras may enhance security but are not specifically designed to physically deter unauthorized individuals from crossing the fence.

Submit
16. Of the following, the most difficult-to-cut fence is:

Explanation

Expanded metal is the most difficult-to-cut fence due to its sturdy and durable construction, making it a popular choice for high-security areas.

Submit
17. When installing full-height turnstiles into a fence it is important to:

Explanation

When installing full-height turnstiles into a fence, it is important to augment with anti-climb over protection to prevent unauthorized individuals from bypassing the turnstiles and maintaining security measures.

Submit
18. Which of the following kinds of gate is most suitable for loading docks?

Explanation

Vertical lift gates are specifically designed for loading docks as they provide vertical clearance and are ideal for maximizing space efficiency.

Submit
19. What is a recommended means of protecting hollow doors against penetration?

Explanation

Adding a protective steel plate is a common method used to reinforce hollow doors against penetration as it adds an extra layer of security and durability.

Submit
20. What is the preferred glazing option for mitigating explosive blast forces?

Explanation

Laminated glazing is the preferred option for mitigating explosive blast forces due to its ability to hold together even when shattered, helping to reduce the potential for injury and damage.

Submit
21. What is a key vulnerability of vehicular doors?

Explanation

Vehicular doors do not provide security from potential intruders as they can easily be opened by pedestrians, making them a key vulnerability in terms of vehicle security.

Submit
22. Key factors in hardening a facility against blast include?

Explanation

The key factors in hardening a facility against blast focus on factors such as stand-off distance, structural integrity, consideration to primary structural elements, and redundancy of operating systems to minimize the impact of a blast event.

Submit
23. What is a specific concern relating to HVAC systems?

Explanation

HVAC systems can indeed be used to introduce harmful substances into a building, making it an important consideration for indoor air quality and health.

Submit
26. What type of lock would be suitable for a decorative glass door separating public and private areas of a building and which cannot accept a mortised lock or a striking plate?

Explanation

An electromagnetic lock would be suitable for a decorative glass door as it does not require a mortised lock or a striking plate. Deadbolt locks, keypad locks, and cam locks all require components such as a striking plate or mortised lock that would not be suitable for this scenario.

Submit
27. Fill in the gap: Where shafts, ducts and utility tunnels exceed __________, they should be fortified with steel bars, grilles, mesh etc.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'An area of 96 square inches'. This specification ensures that adequate reinforcement is in place to prevent unauthorized access or entry.

Submit
28. In general, master keying:

Explanation

Master keying reduces the security level by allowing multiple locks to be opened by a single key, potentially increasing the risk of unauthorized access.
