Historically, data center security has focused largely on physical security. Data center leaders have been mostly successful in limiting incidents that result from employees or third parties causing accidental or deliberate harm to assets. Access management (which focuses on controlling and monitoring access to data and systems within an organization) has protected most facilities from physical threat.
Cybersecurity is more complex, with accountability and responsibility for data center cybersecurity distributed across multiple functions. Data center cybersecurity requires organizational, structural and technological controls to establish defenses that react to the evolving threat landscape.
