A post-pandemic “new normal” workplace has unfortunately also contributed to new threats and new threat surfaces for data center operators. The huge increase in personal RF devices and workplace IoT devices (and yes, some nefarious ones too) has combined with traditional physical security concerns into blended threats for high value corporate targets. And data centers are definitely one of them! Cell phones, personal medical devices, industrial IoT devices, and others can impact both data security and operations. Dr. Walkenhorst will discuss these new threats and share recommendations on how to protect your organization from RF device-driven threats.
