Cybercriminals are no longer limited to digital breaches; they increasingly target physical vulnerabilities to gain access to critical infrastructure, especially within data centers. By exploiting weaknesses — such as gaining unauthorized entry through social engineering tactics or tailgating — cybercriminals can bypass even the most advanced virtual security measures. To mitigate these risks, data centers must adopt multi-layered physical security solutions, such as unattended secure entry points. These include full-height turnstiles, security revolving doors and interlocking mantrap portals controlling access with advanced technologies like biometrics and real-time detection. Combining these physical defenses with digital security measures strengthens the overall security posture of a data center.
Alert Enterprise’s cyber-physical security solutions integrate seamlessly into this strategy, offering cutting-edge access technologies that protect sensitive zones, reduce reliance on human oversight and prevent unauthorized access at every layer. By utilizing advanced identity verification and automated systems, Alert Enterprise ensures data centers effectively counter both digital and physical threats — with a comprehensive, defense-in-depth approach.
