Ransomware Attack on Data Center Infrastructure (Infographic)

Fill out the form to learn how legacy approaches for Data Center infrastructure protection still leave critical networks exposed to attacks.
As data centers grow in importance, scale, and complexity, so do the security challenges they face. Among the various security challenges data centers regularly address, the threats to Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) – otherwise known as the Data Center’s infrastructure – have emerged as a serious concern. Ransomware attacks on data centers can trigger extended shutdowns, potentially impacting the operational integrity of mechanical and electrical equipment in OT.
In data centers, ICS play a crucial role in managing the Building Management Systems and Electrical Management Systems, which oversee cooling, power distribution, access control, and physical security. The convergence of OT and ICS with traditional internet-facing IT systems and cloud platforms introduces vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit.
