Layered physical security in data centers
Data centers and their clients in industry, government, military, and the public rely on data integrity and seamless access to data center resources – making them a prime target for any kind of threats. Protecting data centers against all types of threats and at every level is crucial. By implementing security measures at multiple levels, a robust defense strategy is established. Each level addresses specific vulnerabilities and threats, providing a layered security approach. A multi-level physical data center security framework enhances risk mitigation effectively.
Perimeter security:
By protecting the outer boundary of the data center, unauthorized access and potential threats can be deterred. Perimeter security also includes protection against a range of risks, such as metallic and non-metallic weapons, and prohibited items such as cameras, phones, and drones. Typically located at the building entrance, security measures can include physical barriers, controlled access points, and trained security staff. Implementing walk-through body scanners like the R&S®QPS Walk2000 …
