Data centers have become some of the most critical infrastructure assets in the world, yet many security conversations still focus almost exclusively on cybersecurity. Click the article below: The reality is that today's risks extend far beyond the network. As AI adoption accelerates and hyperscale campuses continue to grow, security leaders must also consider site selection, utility resilience, physical security, insider threats, supply chain dependencies, and operational technology systems. A cyberattack isn't the only event that can disrupt operations. Power failures, utility disruptions, severe weather, contractor access, and physical attacks can have the same outcome: downtime.

Security teams, facilities teams, cybersecurity professionals, and operations leaders can no longer work in silos. The organizations that will be most successful are those that view security as a shared responsibility across the entire infrastructure lifecycle. I recently put together some thoughts on how the security perimeter of the modern data center continues to expand and why resilience is becoming just as important as protection. What do you see as the biggest security challenge facing data centers over the next five years?
