How to protect Data Centre Perimeter

How to protect Data Centre Perimeter

✅ Perimeter boundary
Fences, walls or barriers to define the secured area.
This forms a physical boundary and a psychological deterrent.

✅ Controlled entry points
Limited entry to designated points, with gates or vehicle barriers.
Implement strong access controls at these points.

✅ Continuous surveillance
Cameras to cover all perimeter fence lines and entry points to detect suspicious activity in real time.

✅ Intrusion detection system
Fence sensors, infrared detectors or fiber-optic fence alarm systems that can identify attempts to cut, break or breach the fence.

✅ Lighting
Good lighting deters intruders and helps camera footage remain clear at night.

✅ Security patrolling
Well trained security officers to perform periodic checks, respond to alarm and provide a visible physical presence.

Suggested Technology to Consider in Protecting the Perimeter

Physical barrier technologies
Anti climb fences, bollards or vehicle barriers at entry points.

Electronics surveillance and alarm systems
CCTV with video analytics for detecting unusual movement. Motion detectors or fence sensors. Infrared or thermal cameras for low light or poor visibility.

Access control technologies
Card reader, radio frequency identification (RFID) or license plate recognition (LPR) for vehicle access at gate.

Security lighting
Motion activated floodlights or continuous lighting with backup power in case of outage.

Security operation center (SOC) integration
All signals from cameras, sensors and access controls routed to Security Operations Center, where trained security personnel can respond quickly.
