Section 18 Facilities Security Flashcards
Process of controlling and/or extinguishing fires to protect an organization’s employees, data, equipment, and buildings.
Fire Suppression
Pipes are filled with water all the way to the sprinkler head and is just waiting for the bulb to be melted or broken.
Wet Sprinkler System
Pipes are filled with pressurized air and only push water into the pipes when needed to combat the fire.
Dry Sprinkler System
Fire suppression system that relies upon gas (HALON, FM-200, or C02) instead of water to extinguish a fire.
Clean Agent System
Shielding installed around an entire room that electromagnetic energy and radio frequencies from entering or leaving the room.
Faraday Cage
U.S. Government standards for the level of shielding required in a building to ensure emissions and interface cannot enter or exit the facility.
TEMPEST
A digital serial data communications network used within vehicles.
Controller Area Network (CAN)
A group of objects (electronic or not) that are electronic components.
Internet of Things (IoT)
A computer system that is designed to perform a specific, dedicated function.
Embedded System
A type of computer designed for deployment in an industrial or outdoor setting that can automate and monitor mechanical systems.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
A processor that integrates the platform functionality of multiple logical controllers onto a single chip.
System-on-Chip (SoC)
A type of OS that prioritizes determine execution of operations to ensure consistent response for time critical tasks.
Real Time Operating System (RTOS)
A processor that can be programmed to perform a specific function by a customer rather than at the time of manufacture.
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
A communication network designed to implement on industrial control system rather than data networking.
Operational Technology (OT)
A network manages embedded devices.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
Digital serial data communications used in operational technology networks to link PLCs.
Fieldbus
Input and output controls on a PLC to allow a user to configure and monitor the system.
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Software that aggregates and catalogs data from multiple sources within an industrial control system.
Data Historians
A type of industrial control system that manages large scale, multiple site devices and equipments spread over a geographic region.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
A communications protocol used in operational technology networks.
Modbus
Systems used for building automation and physical access security.
Premise Systems
Components and protocols that facilitate the centralized configuration and monitoring of mechanical and electrical systems within offices and data centers.
Building Automation System (BAS)
Components and protocols that facilitate the centralized configurations and monitoring of security mechanisms within offices and data centers.
Physical Access Control System (PACS)
