Data center physical security protects a data centre’s assets, including people, property, and information. Data Center physical security is becoming very important like cybersecurity. Data center physical security ensures and secures biometric access control, fire suppression systems and climate control mechanisms. Data center physical security ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical data, safeguarding businesses and organisations from data breaches and cyber threats.
Data Center Physical Security Market Growth Factors
Growing Number of Data Security Centers
In today’s data driven world, there are currently about seven billion Internet-connected devices, and that number continues to grow. Many of these generate large masses of data that must be captured, routed, stored, evaluated, and retrieved. According to the data published by the United States International Trade Commission, there were approximately 10,978 data center locations worldwide by the end of 2023.
Furthermore, growing investment in data security centers is expected to drive the demand for data center physical security solutions. The rapid expansion of data center security has attracted investors of all types such as capital, retail investors, angel investors and infrastructure investors.
Thus, the growing number of data security centers is propelling the demand for the physical security of data centers. These data security centers comprise various kinds of built-in safety and security features to protect the premises and thereby the equipment that stores critical data for multi-tenant applications.
Increasing Data Center Attacks and Intrusion.
Growing security concerns related to data centers physical security and similar physical infrastructure that stores, processes, and transmit sensitive data are mainly driving the demand for global data center physical security across the globe.
In a recent report, the information and technology department at MIT stated that 80% of data breaches involved cloud-based data, up from 1.1 billion in 2021 and 1.5 billion in 2022.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are the most common types of attacks that happen worldwide due to increasing cyber threats and intrusion. Networking servers are a primary target for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which disrupt and disable essential internet connections blocking access for end users.
For instance, according to the data released by The Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) and CyberPeace Foundation (CPF), Indian data centers alone faced 51 million cyber-attacks in 2022. Thus, growing incidences of data breaches and cyber-attacks are mainly driving the market growth of data center physical security.
Data Center Physical Security Market Restraints:
Highly Complex Interface and High Cost of Investment
The data centers are very complex as they are made up of various components such as computing, storage, and network. A data center networking in computer networks is a very complex arrangement that includes various devices such as routers, switches, interfaces, etc., that interconnects the various computing and storage units.
Furthermore, high initial investment associated with data physical center is further impeding the market growth. The data physical center is cost intensive models and requires significant investment in infrastructure, servers and storage units.
Data centers consumes large amounts of electricity to run the cooling systems that prevent overheating. The growing cost of electricity due to industrialization is further increasing the overall cost of data center physical security, thereby discouraging new investment in the market.
The lack of skilled professionals for data physical security center is also impeding market growth. The cost of skilled professionals is very high across many developed countries due to high training and onboarding costs.
Furthermore, weakness in various physical barriers such as fences and gates can compromise overall security increasing risk and vulnerabilities in fence integrity. Thus above mentioned factors are expected to restrain the overall market growth during the forecast period.
Data Center Physical Security Market Opportunities:
Technological Innovations in the Data Center Physical Security
Increasing technological innovations in data center physical security centers is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period. For instance, growing investment and innovations in data center interconnect (DCI) technology connects two or more data centers over short, medium or long distances using high speed packet-optical connectivity.
During the period of the forecast, new technologies like biometric scanners, surveillance systems, access control systems, fire detection and suppression systems, plant communication systems, two-factor identification, and data center security software are also expected to make the market more profitable.
Many data centers are implementing LIDAR technology to identify objects like people, animals, and vehicles, and determine their paths. Furthermore, biometric scanners are also incorporated across various data centers for to identify people, such as retina scans that analyse blood vessel patterns in the retina. Thus, the growing implementation of various advanced technologies is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
