CRQM for Data Center Ecosystems
Securing OT systems in an expanding attack surface for cloud data centers.
Cyber Risks in Data Center Operations
- The growth of AI and edge computing is increasing demand for computational power and data storage and driving an expansion of data center ecosystems worldwide.
- Standards like TIA-942, ASHRAE, and the Uptime Institute focus on redundancy and resiliency, but more is needed for cyber security of interconnected IT, IoT, and OT systems.
- The need to secure a rapidly expanding attack surface of critical physical assets requires better datacenter cyber risk quantification.
DeNexus' DeRISKTM for Data Center Ecosystems
Quantifies & Manages
DeNexus’ DeRISK Cyber Risk Quantification & Management (CRQM) platform enables owners of data center facilities to more efficiently manage their attack surface.
Aggregates Data
DeRISK aggregates key cyber risk data from both inside-out and outside-in data sources.
Seamless Integration
DeNexus integrates these metrics seamlessly with data from different passive OT monitoring using frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and DNX CSF (DeNexus proprietary Cybersecurity Framework).
DeNexus' DeRISKTM : Physical Security for Data Centers
DeNexus has expanded its DeRISK™ platform to address risk of physical security attacks upon the data center facility.
This enhanced solution enables operators to assess potential costs from both cyber and physical attacks, offering a unified view of security risks.
Key features include:
- Advanced modeling of human threat actors and attack scenarios.
- Assessment of equipment value at risk to both physical security attacks and cyber-physical attacks.
- Evaluation of downtime and lost capacity from physical and cyber impacts.
- Harmonized financial quantification of both estimated losses due to physical attack risks and cyber attack risks in a unified view for the CSO/CISO responsible for both.
The domains of physical security and cybersecurity have long been siloed, with solutions for one or the other (not both). OT system attacks can have physical consequences, and physical attacks can have physical consequences. Physical security is a huge factor in datacenter design, the OT systems are critical their operation, and now these risks can be assessed together.
How It Works
Data-Driven Cybersecurity Insights
DeRISK enriches inside-out and outside-in datasets by incorporating business operational metrics specific to data centers—energy consumption rates, system availability, and cooling efficiency ratios.
These metrics enable organizations to derive more nuanced insights into their overall risk profile, combining data from cybersecurity and OT (Operational Technology).
DeRISK Cyber Project Simulator
The DeRISK platform translates cyber security insights into quantifiable cyber risks, allowing for well-informed, strategic decision-making on cybersecurity investments facilitated by DeRISK Cyber Project Simulator.
Better alignment between organizational goals and risk tolerance improves the security posture to meet the high standards of leading industry guidelines.
