Data Center World 2025

You probably didn't even know you needed our help! But Data Center designers may tend to overlook physical security decisions due to other priorities (real estate, power, fiber, environmental, and legal - to name a few). Even cyber security gets more attention than physical security design and planning. Our team of data center industry focused physical security professionals will discuss some of the most pressing security engineering concerns. We will help provide some clarity and simplicity to help end users, engineers, architects and security designers navigate these topics and deliver experience-based designs and solutions for data centers. Our team will explain several common trends emerging in critical infrastructure security design in 2024, relating to new technology advances, implementation techniques and security staffing realities. Panelists will examine a 3 layered approach to Data Center Security Design, focusing on outdoor perimeter, building access control, and server areas. Each has unique challenges and will be addressed as such. Throughout our discussion we will emphasize/support the importance of security assessments help identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to support sound technology selections in the final design.

Takeaway

Your security design technology selections have ROI's you can use! Why typical corporate security approaches do not apply in Data Centers. Redundancy and sustainability can be enhanced through your physical security decisions.
