CHAPTER 8 Security Actions With more sophisticated and extensive use of servers, concern over the security of server systems has become increasingly important. In an online application, for example, a disruption of the central system would degrade or shut down the functionality of the terminals, which could have social or economic consequences depending on the nature of the application. -
Page 114: Objects Of Security
CHAPTER 8 Security Actions 2 If a disaster occurs, services are closed down, but can be resumed immediately when the disaster is over. Services are closed down temporarily to protect against errors or malfunctions that might arise from continuing to run the server system for the duration of the disaster, or from problems in running associated facilities. -
Page 115: Kinds Of Disasters
8.2 Details 8.1.3 Kinds of disasters Different kinds of disasters require different security actions suited to their causes and characteristics. Fires Negligence, leaks, catching fire from flare, arson, etc. Earthquakes Overturns, falls, movement, breakage, etc. Water damage Floods, rainwater leaks, supply/drainage pipe leaks, leaks from facilities which use water, water for extinguishing fires, etc. -
Page 116: Figure 8.1 Designating Alarm Zones
CHAPTER 8 Security Actions It is also important to train and prepare staff to fight fires before they become too serious. While the Fire Services Law and other relevant regulations dictate that certain fire- fighting equipment be available, this equipment is not necessarily adequate for server system security. -
Page 117: Table 8.1 Characteristics Of Fire Extinguishing Agents
8.2 Details (2) Kinds of fire extinguishing agents Ideally, any fire extinguishing agents to be used in the computer room and the data storage room should not contaminate the equipment or storage media, be harmless to the human body, and be environmentally friendly. Table 8.1 lists fire extinguishing agents and their characteristics. - Page 118 CHAPTER 8 Security Actions b) Fixed fire extinguishing equipment Fixed fire extinguishing equipment includes sprinklers and carbon dioxide fire extinguishing equipment. A sprinkler, normally tripped on detecting heat, is not suitable for extinguishing fires in their early stages, but can be useful as a last resort for putting out fires. A preaction sprinkler is recommended, because a sprinkler that is constantly filled with water is liable to spray water accidentally upon contact.
