How has the growing trend of mergers and acquisitions caused significant cybersecurity challenges across physical infrastructure systems and how do you tackle this ?
That ’ s a great question and a challenge . In terms of all the exciting mergers , acquisitions and investment , there ’ s so many multi-country data centres out there now and that has introduced challenges because on the OT side , it introduces a lot of complexity around multi-vendor management , patching schedules , managing multiple vendors , managing the specific response plans of each of those vendors . And so , I think that multivendor environment has become very challenging from a security perspective . So as far as mitigation , it ’ s finding those vendor neutral monitoring management tools that can help you stay ahead on your security infrastructure .
Can you discuss the importance of needing to adopt best practices from other sectors to drive resilience and decrease vulnerabilities within your critical systems ?
It ’ s interesting in data centres , because I think there ’ s been tremendous upskilling on the IT security side of things , especially as you see more data centre operators start offering remote hand www . intelligentdatacentres . com
