Cybersecurity risks pose a growing threat to the physical infrastructure of data centers, making robust security measures essential, writes Jose Seara.
Protecting the physical infrastructure of a data center is a central concern for securing the facility's servers, networks, and hosted data and applications.
After all, data centers are physical structures with real-world vulnerabilities based on all their connections for smart HVAC systems, fire suppression controls, electrical devices, and even security cameras.
Any digital device inside a data center that's connected to a network could become a pathway for cyber-attacks, apart from the central racks of computer equipment and network gear itself.
