Data center demand continues to outpace supply, fueled by unrelenting cloud migration and the explosion of AI requiring more computational power, network bandwidth and data storage. Given their business criticality, data centers have become high-value targets for sophisticated cyberattacks.
In addition to direct attacks on servers and applications to exfiltrate or ransom intellectual property, the connected smart devices that keep data centers humming can also be targeted to disrupt operations and cause widespread outages. To maintain resilience, OT and IoT cybersecurity must be part of your holistic risk management strategy.
From chillers and power generators to CCTVs and building automation, cyber physical systems are crucial to ensuring an optimal computing and storage environment inside data centers. All must be secured.
Internet-Exposed DCIMs
Data center infrastructure management apps (DCIMs) are often insecurely connected to the internet. Use of third-party OT/IoT infrastructure products creates significant cyber risk.
Cooling System Outages
Whether related to a cyberattack or malfunction, a cooling system outage would lead to a rapid temperature increase and require a shutdown to protect servers.
Exploitable OT/IoT Entry Points
Assets like CCTV cameras and temperature sensors use stripped-down OSs and minimal encryption or authentication, giving hackers access to critical systems.
Third-Party Vendor Products
An abundance of third-party OT/IoT assets whose security you don’t control, along with insecure access for technicians, introduces another layer of risk.
Automate asset inventory and visualize traffic patterns while gaining detailed information about all OT and IoT assets and their risk.
