The global data center physical security market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.78% from 2022 to 2028.
Importance of Physical Security in Data Centers
In today's world, where most discussions on security in data centers revolve around cyberattacks, that's only part of the equation. Data centers must install several physical measures and products that keep these sites secure and safe. The data center physical security market has played a significant role as it helps install physical security products that are important in data centers as they reduce the threat of outages, social engineering attacks, insider threats, and others due to installing several layers of physical security.
KEY TRENDS
The State and Nature of Biometric Monitoring
There are several challenges that a data center operator is likely to face while operating a data center. One of the aspects includes ensuring that people who need access can get it while simultaneously keeping unauthorized people out. Using keys and access cards to manage entry into data center facilities was traditionally hard, inefficient, and difficult to scale. Today, a new type of solution, biometrics, disrupts and transforms how operators monitor and secure their facilities. Biometric monitoring uses smart devices that collect biometric data, such as fingerprint readers, facial scanners, body temperature sensors, and others that help operators manage data center facilities.
There have been advancements in video surveillance systems connected to cloud systems, which provide recording, image captures, analytics, and notification services. These cloud-based video cameras upload constantly and need a reliable connection since they do not come with local storage. Cloud-based video analytics has become the latest trend in data center physical security.
The Evolving Stage of Robotics
Industry and the market are witnessing several innovations over some time. One of them includes the deployment of robots to monitor the data center facilities. With advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) by the hour, robots have become more capable of optimizing operations and efficiency in maintaining the vitals of a data center. Apart from the usual inspections and monitoring, it also plays a role in the physical security of a data center and mitigates human intervention, thereby employing fewer people and reducing organizational costs.
SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
The most optimal and strategic way to secure a data center from a threat or attack is to manage it in several layers. The layers provide a structured pattern of physical protection of critical information and data, thus making it easy to analyze a failure. The outer layers are purely physical, whereas the inner layers help deter deliberate or accidental data breaches. Physical security products like video surveillance, access control, sensors, mantraps, and fences are some of the main solutions that help keep a data center safe from undesirable external factors.
The video surveillance product segment held the most prominent data center physical security market share in 2022. In data centers, these video surveillance systems are installed near entrance gates, access points, and data halls, and some cameras are hosted near the perimeter fencing and gates for monitoring external movements. However, access control systems will likely take over the video surveillance systems by 2028, with a market share of around 35% in 2028.
