Put simply, data drives our economy. From health care to higher education, from finance to bioscience, data is critical to the success of organizations in every industry. What we do and how we support the functions of data collection, storage, and the absolute need to keep that information secure grows more critical every day.
Keeping that data secure is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. That’s why it’s necessary to thoughtfully assess your current and future needs before you allocate your budget and deploy a program to secure critical assets. To maximize the investment in physical security, consider each section of the facility from the perimeter of the property to the center of the facility where the server racks are housed. This “curb to core” approach demonstrates effective physical security measures that complement the fundamental business operations of the data center.
