Lunch N' Learn Roundtable Discussion: From Blueprint to Build
Designing Cost-Effective, Sustainable Data Center Security When it comes to bringing data centers online and keeping them secure, physical security is a big component. If proper security practices are not in place, a project could be put behind millions of dollars and have significant time delays. These are risks that can't be taken. Hear from security experts on best practices and what teams should be doing to ensure vulnerabilities are reduced on the development site and after asset delivery.
