Evaluation of Techniques for Automated Personal
Identification, FIPS PUB 48.
SUMMARY
AIS security is everyone’s job. The key word is
PROTECT: take all reasonable measures to protect our
AIS assets. Be sure you know what to do if a fire breaks
out, the air conditioning goes off, the power goes down
(with or without an UPS), or an unauthorized person is
in your computer facility.
Learn the AIS terminology and requirements.
Keep alert; early detection of problems is the key to
minimizing damage and destruction.
Security of all types should be a continuous matter
with every AIS technical manager. In this chapter, we
have scratched only the surface of the material available
on classified security, physical security, and security
and privacy of data. It is a subject with which everyone
should be completely up-to-date. Study the material
presented and referenced in this chapter to become
knowledgeable in AIS security.
