What is physical data protection?

Physical data protection involves the protection of sensitive data through physical security. This includes security options such as access control, mobile credentials, or video management.

How do I secure my data center?

The best way to secure a data center involves a mixture of video surveillance and physical security measures, including: physical security controls, mobile credentials and keycards, cybersecurity, and video surveillance and measurement.

Why is physical security important for data centers?

Data centers host a great deal of sensitive information regarding organizations. Without physical security barriers, unauthorized individuals would be able to gain access to this data and use it in ways that could damage the organization’s reputation or financial standing.

Data Centers

Data centers house critical information and require strict physical security access control to reduce the risk of unauthorized individuals entering the facility

Parking Lot to Rack Security

Data centers, especially those that have colocation, can see a significant amount of foot traffic from data center employees, visitors and contractors.

Our data center security solutions ensure that everyone who works at and visits a data center is appropriately credentialed and can only access the specific areas relevant to them. And with our Magic Monitor® unified client, data center administrators gain a holistic view of their infrastructure.
