Alcatraz AI, a global provider of frictionless, AI-powered biometric access control technology revolutionising security through facial authentication, is proud to present its eBook, Navigating the Future of Data Centre Security.
As the number of data centres grows at an exponential rate leading up to 2025, Alcatraz AI has compiled best practices and strategies for securing sensitive information, beginning with protecting the data centre’s perimeter.
Securing sensitive information
AI and the need for data in modern businesses are driving data centre growth at an unprecedented pace–Goldman Sachs research shows that data centre power demand is estimated to grow 160% by 2030 and that the number of staff needed to run the world's data centres will grow to around 2.3 million by 2025.
To adequately safeguard valuable data, the industry needs to prepare and align for unprecedented growth
With this type of growth projecting a market value of $438.7 billion by 2028, there is a heightened risk for potential data breaches due to tailgating–an incident reported to potentially cost organisations up to $2 million. To adequately safeguard valuable data, the industry needs to prepare and align for unprecedented growth in its operations and facilities, including security measures.
Biometric security solutions
In a world where the global business operations of interconnected industries rely on accurate data that is securely stored and accessible without disruption, it is critically important to secure the perimeter of data centers as the first part of a multi-leveled approach. Implementing biometric security solutions ensures secure access and limits tailgating, which, in turn, reduces the risk of data breaches.
Alcatraz AI recognises the complexities of securing data centre environments and knows that securing data begins in the physical world. Together, they seek to deliver secure access control from a different angle, helping data centres better protect critical data and navigate the future with ease.
Prioritising perimeter safety
"The first line of security begins at the door, especially in an age where the staffing challenges and increased breach risks in data centre environments are beginning to grow. Educating data centres on the importance of safeguarding critical data by first prioritising perimeter safety is critical," said Tina D'Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz AI.
"We are encouraging data centres to not overlook physical security, and instead consider options like privacy-first facial authentication to better secure all physical and digital assets. The strategies outlined in this eBook will be an invaluable asset for data centres looking to elevate their physical security and replace outdated methods to keep up with the growth of the data centre market heading into the new year."
Physical security solutions
Navigating the Future of Data Centre Security was created to provide data centres with an efficient resource
Navigating the Future of Data Centre Security was created to provide data centres with an efficient resource to evaluate the state of their centre and learn solutions to combat the complexities data centres are facing.
To accommodate market growth, data centres must re-evaluate their security protocols and focus on physical security solutions like facial authentication to upgrade their current measures in the rapidly expanding market.
Converged security protocols
Alcatraz AI delivers access control solutions that increase the security of protected facilities and provide business insights while simultaneously making the experience frictionless and touchless for end users. Alcatraz AI's newest security solution, Rock X, bridges the gap between digital and physical security, highlighting the value of converged security protocols for data centres.
Their easy-to-use and innovative system will contribute to the success and growth of data centres with features such as seamless integration, tailgate detection and alerting, enterprise-grade security, and a privacy-focused approach to both transform physical security and protect individual privacy.
