What is the primary purpose of security guards performing rounds at irregular intervals rather than fixed schedules?
Answer: To make patrol timing unpredictable and harder for attackers to exploit
Random patrol schedules prevent adversaries from timing intrusion attempts during predictable gaps in coverage.
Which RAID level provides both striping and mirroring, requiring a minimum of four drives and offering fault tolerance for up to one drive failure per mirrored pair?
Answer: RAID 10
RAID 10 combines mirroring (RAID 1) and striping (RAID 0), providing high performance and redundancy with the ability to survive a drive failure in each mirrored pair.
What is tailgating (piggybacking) in the context of physical security?
Answer: An unauthorized person following an authorized individual through a secure door before it closes
Tailgating exploits the social convention of holding doors open, allowing unauthorized persons to bypass physical access controls.
Which document formalizes an organization's agreement with a vendor on the expected uptime, response time, and support levels for a service?
Answer: Service Level Agreement (SLA)
An SLA defines measurable metrics like uptime percentages and incident response times that the vendor is contractually obligated to meet.
What is the purpose of a succession plan in business continuity?
Answer: To identify and prepare backups for key personnel whose absence could disrupt critical operations
Succession planning ensures that if key individuals become unavailable, trained successors can assume their roles and maintain business continuity.
Which fire suppression approach uses oxygen displacement and is effective but poses a serious asphyxiation risk to personnel still in the room?
Answer: Inert gas (e.g., Argon/Nitrogen blends)
Inert gas systems reduce oxygen levels below the threshold needed to sustain combustion, but the reduced oxygen also endangers human life if personnel are present.
