Data Center:
Leading-edge Security and Efficiency
Maintain security when running applications in private and public data centers, on-premises, and in the cloud.
A Bit of Context
A data center is a physical facility where organizations store critical applications and data. Its design is based on computing and storage resources that enable the delivery of shared applications and data.
Data center security follows the workload across different environments to protect applications, infrastructure, data, and users. It is essential because these centers house most of the information assets and intellectual property, being the main target of directed attacks. Managing security rules to control access to resources can be very complex.
Keys to data center security
- Complete monitoring: to protect a data center, it is necessary to have visibility of users, devices, networks, applications, workloads, and processes.
In addition to facilitating performance monitoring and allowing better capacity planning, this visibility accelerates the detection of attacks that attempt to steal sensitive data or disrupt operations. - Rapid detection: improves post-incident response times and forensic investigation, which can reveal the extent of breaches in critical systems and determine what information has been leaked.
- Propagation control: reduces the expansion of an attack by limiting its spread between different networks.
- Proactive protection: is crucial for servers with delayed patch updates and legacy systems, protecting against the exploitation of vulnerabilities before the complete implementation of patches.
- Threat defense: making direct access to systems that may have vulnerabilities or insecure ports difficult prevents many attacks.
In the case of public services, where advanced persistent threats are more common, segmentation provides time to identify and mitigate problems, slowing down hackers and allowing an effective response from security teams.
- Identification of security breaches more quickly with a comprehensive set of solutions.
- Adaptation of security policies to keep pace with an environment with dynamic information constantly moving between physical and multicloud environments.
- Risk mitigation: risks include intrusion attempts into shared data centers, as well as the exploitation of mobile and web applications, which increase consumer loyalty but compromise security by adding more access routes.
Employees themselves can also be vulnerable. The implementation of integrated and automated security products is essential to mitigate the impact of security breaches and ensure efficient protection, detection, and mitigation of threats.
Strengthen the security of your data center
Traditional perimeter security methods are no longer sufficient to protect dynamic applications and workloads. Organizations must implement security and segmentation at the perimeter, in the data center, at the host level, and in the application layer.
