Safety and reliability become even more important

Security and reliability are important assets for data centers. A modern data center must be robust, well-secured and privacy-proof. It must also contain the tools and knowledge to adequately fend off both physical intrusions and digital attacks. Read more about your security and reliability challenges and solutions in this blog.

As the number of smart IT applications and dependence on digital solutions grow, so do cyber risks. Security and reliability are therefore important assets for data centers. A modern data center must be robust, well secured and privacy-proof. Besides it should contain the tools and knowledge to adequately repel both physical intrusions and digital attacks. Extensive security analytics and network monitoring are therefore becoming increasingly important components of the data center manager's toolkit.

Cybercrime

The growth of IoT and the increasing number of home workers are creating more Internet connections. And thus more potential targets for cybercriminals. All these connections must be secure. This does not appear to be as simple as hammering out a network location. Challenges can lie at the strategic level, but also in the design of administrative models or the standardization of processes in the cloud. Concerns about cybersecurity and the (inter)national laws and regulations that are not always well aligned are also points for attention.

What does investing in this give companies?

Investing in the security and reliability of your digital infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. Investing in a hybrid and scalable infrastructure not only allows you to quickly scale up or down capacity based on current needs, but also gives you extra control over the storage and management of data. Do you want to use the public cloud to host generic and frequently used apps? But prefer to manage business-critical and privacy-sensitive data on-premises, in a private cloud or in a traditional data center? That's no problem with a hybrid and scalable architecture. The importance of good security solutions, in terms of detection and prevention as well as mitigation, is abundantly clear at a time when networks are becoming more complex and cybercrime is a lucrative and professional business model.

Getting Started in Practice

But how do you practically get started with these risks? It starts with a clear picture of your wishes, needs and current IT structure. Here you can think of questions such as:

To what extent is your current IT infrastructure scalable and future-proof?
Is the security level adequate to deal with modern cyber threats?

Once you have a clear picture of your wishes, needs and current infra, it is important to choose a partner who actively thinks along with you and who uses the possibilities of modern technology to create an IT infrastructure that meets the highest security requirements. It also has to be a party who can advise you on the architecture which fits in optimally with your business and IT landscape.
