Facilities Security Flashcards
Fire Suppression
Process of controlling and/or extinguishing fires to protect an organization’s employees, data, equipment, and buildings
Handheld Fire Extinguisher Classes
Class A, B, C, D, K
Type A Fire Extinguishers
Ordinary solid combustibles such as paper, wood, cloth and some plastics
Type B Fire Extinguishers
Flammable liquids such as alcohol, ether, oil, gasoline and grease, which are best extinguished by smothering
Class C Fire Extinguishers
Electrical equipment, appliances and wiring in which the use or a nonconductive extinguishing agent prevents injury from electrical shock.
Class D Fire Extinguishers
Certain flammable metallic substances such as sodium and potassium. These materials are normally not found in the Medical Center
Class K Fire Extinguishers
Used in kitchens on grease fires
Wet Pipe Sprinkler System
Pipes are filled with water all the way to the sprinkler head and are just waiting for the bulb to be melted or broken
Dry Pipe Sprinkler System
Pipes are filled with pressurized air and only push water into the pipes when needed to combat the fire
pre-action sprinkler system
A pre-action sprinkler system will activate when heat or smoke is detected
Clean Agent System
Fire suppression system that relies upon gas (HALON, FM-200, or CO2) instead of water to extinguish a fire
Faraday Cage
Shielding installed around an entire room that prevents electromagnetic
energy and radio frequencies from entering or leaving the room
TEMPEST
§ U.S. Government standards for the level of shielding required in a building to ensure emissions and interference cannot enter or exit the facility
§ TEMPEST facilities are also resistant to EMPs (electromagnetic pulses)
Controller Area Network (CAN)
• A digital serial data communications network used within vehicles
• The primary external interface is the Onboard Diagnostics (OBD-II) module
• No concept of source addressing or message authentication in a CAN bus
Internet of Things (IoT)
§ A group of objects (electronic or not) that are connected to the wider Internet by using embedded electronic components
§ Most smart devices use an embedded version of Linux or Android as their OS
§ Devices must be secured and updated when new vulnerabilities are found
