SECURITY HOT SPOTS
Protecting Control Rooms The security control room, or security operations center, is often seen as the trophy of an integrated security management system. Senior management likes to see lots of flashing lights and Star Wars-like command consoles to help them feel better about their sizeable security investment. But does a lot of flash and noise equal effectiveness?
Protecting Data Centers Beyond security of the information systems themselves, the physical security of data centers and data closets is a serious function. Would the interruption of mission-critical systems be a cause for concern? The answer is most definitely yes. Yet many companies still leave their data centers open to the general building population, thereby increasing their vulnerability.
