S 1.41 Protection against electromagnetic irradiation

Initiation responsibility: IT Security Officer

Implementation responsibility: Purchaser, Building Services

If IT equipment is housed in a protective cabinet, electromagnetic radiation can be produced by adjacent devices which impairs the functioning of the equipment (particularly in industrial production areas). By retrofitting filters and door seals, irradiation inside the protective cabinet can be reduced. At the same time these safeguards also prevent the spread of compromising emissions from the equipment inside the cabinet.
