CYBERSECURITY
T he wider technology market is characterised by a move towards more comprehensive and layered security strategies. Critically, organisations have started to invest more in regulatory frameworks that are placing strong emphasis on risk assessments and real-time threat detection.
This has never been more vital within the data centre industry. As we’ ve examined before, the data centre threat landscape remains complex. A data hack, or ransomware attack, could leave operators, customers and investors compromised, with threat actors having complex powers to extort or breach sensitive information or withhold services.
As a result, businesses and governments are currently working to improve their cybersecurity posture by giving data centres greater protections that safeguard vital information, which could include healthcare information, financial details or personal smartphone data.“ The data centre cybersecurity market is transforming rapidly as a result of factors such as surging data volumes, growing cloud adoption and increasingly strict regulations,” says Michael Paye, VP Research and Development at Netwrix.“ Advances in technologies like generative AI( Gen AI) multiply both opportunities and risks.”
