As sites that house services essential to Governments, enterprises, and individuals, data centres may become subject to the highest threat levels during construction and operational upkeep. Valuable technology and materials attract opportunism and theft during construction. At the same time, the value of the vast amounts of personal and corporate data stored on servers within data centres leaves them vulnerable to attack during operation. For this reason, data centre fencing should be the cornerstone of any facility that houses computer systems and components worth millions of dollars.
The transformation from paper trails to virtual backup of bulk information is well underway. Therefore, protecting data stored within these facilities is more than just a cyber Security issue; it also demands superior Physical Perimeter Security as the first line of defence.
In this article, Cochrane Global explores the necessity for premium data centre fencing to be installed on current and future sites while outlining how ClearVu the Invisible Wall’’ can protect your site and sophisticated assets from the virus of unauthorised visitors.
The Emergence of Data Centres as Critical Infrastructure
Data centres are one of the most recent sites that can now be classified as critical infrastructure – they are the meeting point that allows an interconnected, online world to function and the central storage point for mass information. Essentially, they are physical landmarks where the cloud meets the surface. In the era of smartphones, remote working, SaaS adoption and streaming services, there is an ongoing need to grow the capacity of data storage facilities to allow our digital ecosystem to thrive.
While cybersecurity and software engineers take the leading role in ensuring that Cloud storage and operations will always be available and reliable, site owners and operators need to ensure that adequate data centre fencing solutions are in place to prevent any threats to the physical facility and personnel. Physical perimeter security must be on the company’s mind just as much as cybersecurity. From access control to the vetting of contractors and preventative measures against sabotage or terrorist attacks, your security strategy should give equal consideration to cybersecurity and perimeter protection.
Introducing ClearVu as the Perimeter Barrier of Choice for Data Centres
As mentioned earlier, securing data centres includes physical perimeter security protocols and a sustainable cybersecurity strategy. Governments and corporations, therefore, need to ensure that their data storage facilities are physically secure to enhance intrusion prevention and
maintain strict, authorised access to the critical facilities in which they operate.
