While these data centers prioritize security measures, including robust digital security protocols, they remain vulnerable to burglary and theft targeting both data and hardware assets. If a burglar circumvents traditional alarm systems, it can bring severe damage to the business.
Loss of data and hardware can be an expensive affair. Both the cost of restoring the data and hardware and the disruption to the core of the business are significant for these types of companies, which rely on customer trust in their ability to keep data safe. A break-in can mean significant downtime for the hosting center, which can last for some time.
Loss of this data can lead to a large decrease in customer satisfaction. This can truly be damaging to these types of businesses. Not only is it expensive for the hosting center, but it can also bring financial damage to the customers’ businesses, as it can mean disruptions in their daily operations.
