Advanced Data Center Security
- 2. Understanding What Data Center Security Is • Data Security discusses about various practices, policies and security measures used for ensuring virtual and physical protection of a Data Center Facility • Data Centers must be secured against all forms of insider and outsider threats along with other forms of cyberattacks • Cyberattacks constantly pose threats to a Data Center infrastructure
- 3. Considerations for Effectiveness of Data Centers • Commonly used considerations that decide the effectiveness of a Data Center includes- 1. Physical Security of Data Center 2. Managing and Controlling User Access 3. Defining Security Policies and Procedures
- 4. Why Data Center is Needed? • Data Center Security is important for organizations that store critical user information within Data Centers • Robust Data Center security infrastructure ensures cybercriminals are kept away from Data Centers • Data Center Security Solution can be achieved through Data Center providers or their partners of Data Center providers
- 5. Why Access Controls are Important in Data Centers • The following 3 major reasons are why an access control mechanism needs to deployed within a Data Center infrastructure- i. Physical Security ii. Compatibility iii. Compliances
- 6. Why Access Controls are Important in Data Centers (cont.…) Physical Security- The physical security of a Data Center is guaranteed when selecting the access controls of a Data Center. Data Center providers don’t want any unauthorized user/personnel to access the Data Center floor space
- 7. Why Access Controls are Important in Data Centers (cont.…) Compatibility- In terms of Compatibility, having a Cloud-based Access Control mechanism ensures Data Centers providers to integrate the existing IT infrastructure with all physical components of the Data Center
- 8. Why Access Controls are Important in Data Centers (cont.…) Compliances- To ensure the complete security of Data Centers, it is important that Data Center provider adheres to all protocols required for implementing system & legal compliances within Data Centers
- 9. Physical Security Policy Within Data Centers • The Data Center provider must ensure that the physical solutions are offered with a detailed physical security policy • Such Data Center policies are important as they ensure access to sensitive information is managed by a well-defined operating procedures • The presence of well-defined procedures helps in mitigating any forms of risks to the Data Centers
- 10. Digital Security in Data Centers • Presence of intrusion detection and threat prevention mechanisms help in notifying the system admins regarding about any advanced & persistent cyber-threats • Detection of advanced cyber-threats within Data Centers need constant & real-time monitoring • Network and system log files need to be constantly scanned & report alerts in case of unusual events
- 11. Understanding Zero Trust Architecture • Zero Trust Architecture is also known as Zero Trust • It depicts various security concepts and threat models that doesn’t require for the assumption that actors, security systems and services operating within the security premises are to be trusted • The Zero Trust Architecture has been designed for restricting all forms of security breaches which might damage the working of Data Centers
- 12. Understanding Zero Trust Architecture (cont.…) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 User Verification User Device Validation Limit User Access & Privileges
- 13. Global Data Center Security Market • The global Data Center Security Market was valued at $11.67 billion in 2020 • It is forecasted to reach $26.61 billion by 2026 • During this forecasted period, market will witness a growth CAGR of 14.91%
- 14. Market Growth Drivers • Increasing data traffic emerging from number of devices is driving the growth of Data Centers • There has been increased demand for localized Data Centers • Global Cloud Data Center traffic will rise to 20.6 ZB (in 2021)
- 15. Concluding Words • The security of Data Centers needs to be addressed seriously • There has been tremendous shift of applications and data to a Cloud Computing infrastructure • Such migrations often make the Data Centers a soft target for cyberattacks • Providers like ESDS offer complete security of the data present across its Data Center locations by deploying 7 Layers of Security Infrastructure
