There are nosecure systems!You can only make systems more secure.

SECURING OUR DATACENTERSSecurity is not a product nor a feature; it’s an integration of culture, policies & systems

Standard hardening stops majority of attacks

Intuitive and user-friendly IT policies

System maintenance process

User education –Embrace security culture

How about Cybersecurity?

The goal is to make attacks expensive rather than impossible.

Security Culture

3. OPERATIONAL DEFENCE• Security Awareness• Training, Tabletops & Drills• Audits, feedback &

Modifications• Event post-mortem &

Corrective actions

• Use of disabled cards• Perimeter breach• Left baggage• Tailgating• Unplanned deliveries• Unaccounted visitors

• Assets disposal• Visitor / vendors access• Maintenance / repair work• Employees backgd checks• Purch. & delivery new equip.• Emgy access by authorities / utilities
