13. Cybersecurity Starts at the Rack: Defending the Digital Nerve Cente

In this episode of Data Center Insights, Emma returns to the vital topic of cybersecurity — but with a technical, rack-level focus. Building on a previous discussion about cybersecurity culture, this conversation explores why connected devices like PDUs, smart locks, and rack controllers are increasingly targeted by sophisticated attacks. Emma unpacks how modern threats move beyond the network perimeter, and why a defense-in-depth strategy with secure firmware, encryption, vulnerability testing, and real-time alerts is now essential. Whether you’re upgrading your data center or planning for more AI workloads, this is a must-listen for protecting your infrastructure at its core.
