Acquisitionsserver
|
acquisitionsserver An ICS server that collects and stores raw data. This serverconnects to field devices from which it receives the raw data andpasses that information on to other servers in the SCADA system.
|
|
Activecard
|
Aproximity card that contains an internal lithium battery to provide agreater range (up to 150 m). These cards are ideal for long-rangeapplications such as security gates or tollbooths
|
|
Activedata
|
(ESL)Informationstored on a computer’s hard drive and storage media, such ascalendars, email, and databases.
|
|
AITmachine
|
(advancedimaging technology) machine, A security device similar to an X-raymachine that uses millimeter-wave scanners, which emit radio wavessimilar to those emitted by cell phones, to indicate on cartoonlikeimages any areas of concern to security personnel.
|
|
AssetManagement
|
Theprocess of collecting and storing data on the number and types ofsoftware and hardware assets in an organization’s network. The datacollection is automated by electronically examining each network nodefrom a server.
|
|
Businesscontinuity
|
Theability of a company to continue doing business with the least amountof interruption possible after a major outage or other disaster.
|
|
Cipherlock
|
Aphysical or electronic lock requiring a code to open the door.
|
|
Closed-loopsystem
|
Oneof two methods that an ICS might use to control the physical system.In a closed loop system, decisions are made based on real-time data.Also called a closed network.
|
|
Computerforensics
|
Theprocess of investigating deeper data on a computer, essentiallyperforming an autopsy on the computer to discover hidden data, suchas deleted files and file fragments, and who has accessed that dataand when.
|
|
Degausser
|
Amagnetic hard drive eraser.
|
|
eDiscovery
|
Theprocess of collecting information from a computer’s hard drive andstorage media.

|
Faradaycage
|
Anenclosure made of conductive material that is designed to blockelectromagnetic signals, including Wi-Fi.
|
|
Fieldbus
|
Thecommunication channel that connects a PLC to an RTU (when these areseparate devices) or to an actuator.
|
|
Historian
|
AnICS server that stores a centralized database of collected andanalyzed data and control activities. This data is often analyzed torecognize trends in the physical system
|
|
HMI
|
(human-machineinterface) A computer, including hardware and software, thattechnicians use to monitor and manage physical systems in anindustrial system.
|
|
Hot/Warm/ColdSite
|
coldsite -A place where the computers, devices, and connectivity necessary torebuild a network exist, but are not appropriately configured,updated, or connected to match the network’s current state. hotsite -A place where the computers, devices, and connectivity necessary torebuild a network exist, and all are appropriately configured,updated, and connected to match a network’s current state. warmsite -A place where the computers, devices, and connectivity necessary torebuild a network exist, though only some are appropriatelyconfigured, updated, or connected to match the network’s currentstate |
|
ICSserver
|
Aserver in an ICS or SCADA system that might include an acquisitionsserver, which collects and stores raw data, a supervisory server,which controls the physical system, or a historian, which is acentralized database of collected and analyzed data and controlactivities.
|
|
Mantrap
|
Anentryway to an access-controlled area that consists of two doors oneither end of the entryway. The first door must close before thesecond door can open.
