The InfoWatch expert-analytical center released a report in late April focusing on data center security. The document examines the consequences of accidents and targeted attacks on such infrastructure.
Data centers are now classified as strategic assets requiring protection against both cyber threats and physical sabotage. The report emphasizes that cybersecurity measures remain ineffective without a robust physical foundation.
The study highlights that business continuity depends on data center stability. Service outages lead to significant financial losses, including repair costs, lost revenue during downtime, and reputational damage that may drive customers to competitors.
Market reactions to data center incidents are also significant, as evidenced by the impact of attacks on stock prices. Consequently, organizations and governments are prioritizing the physical and digital resilience of these facilities.
