1 SOLUTION BRIEF

Cybersecurity for Data Center Critical Infrastructure

Automate asset inventory and visualize traffic patterns while gaining detailed information about all OT and IoT assets and their risk.

Detect cyber incidents and operational anomalies such as failing equipment or network stability issues before they cause harm.

Prioritize the most critical risks and accelerate remediation with actionable intelligence, playbooks and forensic tools.

Cover the largest attack surfaces, including hyperscale data centers and dispersed sites, with central cloud management, analytics and reporting.

Nozomi Networks Platform Benefits

Protect the cyber-physical assets your IT security tools can’t.

Data center demand continues to outpace supply, fueled by unrelenting cloud migration and the explosion of AI requiring more computational power, network bandwidth and data storage. Given their business criticality, data centers have become high- value targets for sophisticated cyberattacks. No wonder the U.S., U.K., Germany, Australia and other countries have designated data centers as critical infrastructure.

Despite heavy investments in IT endpoint, server and perimeter security, many data centers still leave an increasing percentage of their attack surface unprotected. In addition to direct attacks on servers and applications to exfiltrate or ransom intellectual property, the connected building automation systems that keep data centers humming — essential chilling, HVAC, lighting and power systems — can also be targeted to disrupt operations and

cause widespread outages.

To maintain resilience, OT and IoT cybersecurity must be part of your holistic risk management strategy.

The Nozomi Networks platform enables data center administrators to gain visibility into their critical infrastructure and quickly diagnose threats and anomalies. It provides actionable intelligence to allow quick response to critical OT and IoT security breaches and operational anomalies and keep the data center running smoothly.

If a cyberattack shuts down the data center cooling system and disrupts operations, it’s the CISO who must answer must answer to customers and the board, not the building management or facilities team.

Top Overlooked Cyber Risks for Data Centers

The Connected Data Center

Internet-Exposed DCIMs Cooling System Outages Data center infrastructure management apps (DCIMs) are often insecurely connected to the internet. Use of third-party OT/IoT infrastructure products creates significant cyber risk.

Whether related to a cyberattack or malfunction, a cooling system outage would lead to a rapid temperature increase and require a shutdown to protect servers.

Exploitable OT/IoT Entry Points Assets like CCTV cameras and temperature sensors use stripped-down OSs and minimal encryption or authentication, giving hackers access to critical systems.

From chillers and power generators to CCTVs and building automation, cyber physical systems are crucial to ensuring an optimal computing and storage environment inside data centers. All must be secured.
