Don't Overlook Layer-1
Infrastructure Security
Layer-1 infrastructure
security is often overlooked,
yet it is the first defense in
data center cyber security.
Data breaches have become more
common and costly, with the
average data breach cost in the
United States at $8.64 million in
2020, according to a report by the
Ponemon Institute.
While access control and other
security measures against
outsiders may give a company a
false sense of security, it is
essential to remember that insider
threats can be equally dangerous
and devastating.
Co-location data centers are
particularly vulnerable to insider
threats due to the vast amounts of
data passed from cage to cage,
which means an attack on one
tenant can also affect other
tenants.
The traditional physical security
options for data centers, such
as EMT and metallic conduit,
are no longer sufficient to
prevent cyber attacks.
Leading providers have
embraced the need to
safeguard their Layer-1
infrastructure and are
incorporating this solution into
their security profile.
Layer-1 infrastructure
security is often overlooked,
but it is the first line of
defense in data center cyber
security.
Network Integrity Systems was
founded in 2003 to develop a solution
for physically protecting secure fiber
optic networks in and around The
Pentagon, resulting in the
development of the INTERCEPTOR™
Optical Network Security System.
NIS has since received 36 US and
foreign patents and expanded into
perimeter security with the Sentinel
Perimeter Intrusion Detection
System, making it an integrated
cyber and physical security solutions
provider.
