Best Data Center Security Practices in the Age of Digital Transformation

Best Data Center Security Practices in the Age of Digital Transformation

Image: Alamy Data has been described as digital gold, modern currency, and the new oil. Each of these analogies points to something fundamental about data: it’s foundational to the digital experience. Indeed, data is the impetus behind everything from increasingly popular (and data-hungry) large language models (LLMs) and personalized marketing to streaming recommendation and traffic navigation services. It’s also stored in enormous quantities.

Security teams are tasked with preventing cybersecurity incidents, insider threats, saboteurs, and other risks from entering the premises. To help industry leaders stay ahead of any threat, here are three often overlooked best practices to secure data centers in 2024: Related: The Biggest Threats to Data Center Uptime – […]
