Electronic Security Systems Exam Flashcards
Intrusion Detection Definition
the act of detecting actions that attempt to compromise the confidentiality of a resource.“
IDS Definition
a network security technology originally built for detecting vulnerability exploits against a target application or computer. Provides alerts but not action
IDS meaning
Intrusion detection system (IDS)
IPS meaning
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
IPS Definition
An IPS takes action itself to block the attempted intrusion
NIDS Meaning
Network-based IDS (intrusion detection system) protects all devices on the network from intrusion
HIDS Meaning
Host-based IDS, only protects one device
Physical IDS meaning
Physical Intrusion Detection are real-life systems such as security guards and cameras
Signature Based IDS
Things such as anti-virus programs that relate the signature of the virus to other known viruses
PSIM Meaning
Physical Security Information Management, allows organizations to reduce costs through improved efficiency and to improve security for assets and employees.
When was PSIM introduced
2006 created by middleware developers
6 PSIM key capabilities (CAVRRAT)
Collection: Collects data from security systems
Analysis: analyses data to identify situations
Verification: presents data to the operator
Resolution: system provides SOP’s (standard operating procedure) step by step to resolve situation.
Reporting: system tracks all info for reporting situation
Audit Trail: monitors how each operator uses the system
IT Convergence
bridges the gap between data and security through PSIM
What is video evidence?
a document that clearly demonstrates a fact (Survalience camera)
What is proper collection of video evidence?
Prevent changes from taking place on the scene to capture the most accurate video evidence, maintain its original form.
What is proper retrieval of video evidence?

Explain Legal implications when deploying covert video
Privacy laws that come from videoing a unexpecting person
What is an evidence log?
a log that is used to account for evidence that is collected from a crime scene.
what are any legal implications when deploying any electronic security systems?
CCTV can be used to record video but not audio
What are fire code considerations for electronic security systems?
heat, smoke, and flame detectors.
