In today’s cloud environments, every application is dependent on infrastructure. “The Cloud” has evolved into a superset of enterprise data centers, co-location facilities, hosting environments, network exchanges, and SaaS platforms. Securing cloud infrastructure from both physical and wireless threats is crucial.
The industry has spent billions to make data centers among the most physically secure locations on the planet. Cloud infrastructure physical security is well-refined and involves identity scanners, physical blockades, trained guards, motion detectors, and comprehensive camera systems. Physical security focuses on tangible threats, but wireless threats don’t care about guards and gates. Attackers can use Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, and other protocols to control systems inside a data center from beyond the perimeter fence or exfiltrate data, voice, and video.
Modern data center locations driving today’s cloud infrastructure should implement Wireless Airspace Defense for Cloud Infrastructure to detect and mitigate all threats.
