What Is Data Center Security?

Data center security is the measures taken to protect the physical data center and its digital assets. It is usually created with a variety of support technologies and security equipment that monitor the premises, control who has access, and block cyber and physical intruders.

Many people do not understand the importance of physical security. Data centers must follow strict industry guidelines to ensure data is safe. If the physical building is not secure, anyone can walk in and steal the digital assets. Examples of physical security measures include:

Perimeter protection such as lighting or gates
Card access control and limited entrances
An area protected from natural disasters
An unmarked building

Digital security measures are just as important. Cyber threats are an ongoing issue that you cannot ignore. A few examples of digital security measures include:

Firewalls
Strong password guidelines
Security patches
Encryption
Updated systems
Controlled access

What Is Cabling In a Data Center?

Datacenter cables are what connect the pieces of the data center infrastructure and equipment together. This is to enable network connectivity and power distribution.

There are two main types of data center cables: structured and unstructured cabling. Data center structured cabling refers to cabling that follows a set of predetermined guidelines. It is organized and thoughtfully planned, leading to more efficiency and lower maintenance costs.

Unstructured data cabling refers to an unstandardized approach to cabling. This is a cheaper option, but is not scalable and often leads to issues in the future.

Challenges in Securing Data Centers:

Data centers pose many challenges to security. You have numerous cyber threats to prevent but also need to physically secure the building. A data center uses a complex infrastructure to house important data and applications. It’s vital the right security system is in place. Other risks to data centers include:

Unauthorized Access

You want to make sure only authorized personnel are able to access your data and premises. Unauthorized access could be disastrous for your data center. A security system with perimeter protection and access control solutions can help ensure only approved people can enter and be around your assets.

Theft

Data centers are positions for internal or external theft. This can be in the form of physically stealing equipment or taking your company’s data. A security system for a data center must offer physical and digital solutions to protect all aspects of the business.

Perimeter Protection

Intruders are a big threat to data centers. You must prevent unauthorized persons or those with ill intentions from entering the building. When choosing a security system, you must ensure perimeter protection is a part of the package.

Network Protection

Data centers have a high risk of cyber threats. It’s important your security system protects your center from hackers, breaches, or other malicious situations that compromise your data’s integrity.

Services TTD Security Systems Offers for Data Center Security

Our security systems keep your data center operations, applications, and data protected from a variety of threats. Learn more about the security services TTD Security Systems offers for data centers below:

Perimeter Protection

The first line of defense in protecting a data center is to protect the actual building itself. Perimeter protection does just that, using underground and above-ground sensors to alert you or your staff of intruders. It also includes various other aspects, such as lighting, signage, and fences. The goal of perimeter protection is to safeguard everything in the building, from your digital assets to your team members.

This security solution combines technology and physical security hardware to create a complex system that keeps intruders or unauthorized visitors out of your data center.

Access Control

Physical security in a data center can be complicated. Not only do you have to prevent cybersecurity threats, but you also need to secure the actual building that houses your servers. This is done by controlling who has access to each area of your building.

An access control system helps you do that. We offer card and biometric readers. Both work to control who has access to rooms, elevators, buildings, drawers, and more. A card reader uses a card to record who tries to access an area. The database maintains these records for you to use in case of theft or other situations.

A biometric reader works the same way, only it scans a person’s retinas, hands, or fingerprints to allow or deny access. Both systems are a great option to protect your physical and digital property in a data center.

Security Maintenance and Repair

As much as we’d love to say your security system will work properly at all times, that is not realistic. Technologies and equipment must be maintained to continue to work correctly. TTD Security Systems offers maintenance services to keep your security system in top working order, so your safety is never in jeopardy.
