Datacenter Security - Physical Infrastructure Protection for Cloud Services

This presentation introduces the Data Center Security (DCS) domain, covering fifteen control specifications essential for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to secure physical infrastructure and environments hosting customer data and applications. Learn about protecting physical assets from security threats like unauthorized access and environmental hazards. Understand the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM) where CSPs are exclusively responsible for datacenter physical infrastructure security, environmental controls, and facility security. Discover why Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) should verify CSP compliance with DCS controls, particularly within the Audit and Assurance domain. Gain insights into how effective physical security measures are fundamental to maintaining safe and compliant cloud physical infrastructure in this 27-minute Cloud Security Alliance presentation.
