CYBERSECURITY
TACKLING RISING CONCERNS IN THE DATA CENTRE INDUSTRY
Some of the main cyber concerns for data centres:
• The challenge of integrating AI-driven tools to enhance protection while safeguarding those systems from manipulation by adversaries
• The growing shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, which is making it imperative for organisations to harness advanced technologies and forge partnerships that supplement their technical and staffing needs are dedicated to developing solutions that protect critical assets, keeping pace with the dynamic threat landscape emerging from both traditional and cutting-edge technologies,” he says.

• Cybercriminals leveraging AI to craft more precise and sophisticated attack strategies, from personalised phishing campaigns to more potent ransomware and DDoS attacks
• Internal vulnerabilities like human errors or intentional sabotage that can lead to significant breaches and steep compliance penalties
• Continued reliance on legacy systems and outdated configurations, which gives adversaries pathways to exploit weaknesses without having to develop entirely new techniques
