The South America Data Center Physical Security Market size is estimated at USD 99.80 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 206.80 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 15.60% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The security measures for the data center can be divided into four layers: perimeter security, facility controls, computer room controls, and cabinet controls. The first layer focuses on discouraging, detecting, and delaying unauthorized entry into the perimeter. If there is a breach in the perimeter monitoring, the second layer restricts access through an access control system using card swipes or biometrics. The third layer further restricts access by using various verification methods, monitoring restricted areas, deploying entry restrictions, providing biometric access control devices, and using radio frequency identification. These layers ensure entry for only authorized personnel. Additional measures to restrict access include cabinet locking mechanisms addressing concerns about insider threats such as malicious employees.
