Abstract

The article focuses on the evolving landscape of data centre cybersecurity in India, emphasizing the need for enhanced protection at the rack level due to the increasing complexity and connectivity of data centre infrastructure. As India expands its data centre capacity, driven by factors such as AI and cloud adoption, traditional cybersecurity measures are proving inadequate against emerging threats. The article highlights the risks associated with compromised rack-mounted devices, which can lead to significant operational disruptions, and advocates for a shift in cybersecurity practices to include robust protections for these critical components. It calls for a cultural change within organizations to integrate cybersecurity into all aspects of data centre operations, ensuring resilience against potential breaches.
