Defending the Digital Fortress: Network Security, Data Encryption, and Quantum-safe Technologies in Data Centers

Emerging threats and vulnerabilities that data centres face today, such as advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that specifically target data centres.Best practices for network segmentation, the implementation of firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS), and the importance of regular network security assessments and penetration testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. What are the potential applications of quantum key distribution (QKD) for securing data in transit?Common obstacles in achieving compliance, such as keeping up with evolving regulations, integrating compliance into existing security protocols, and ensuring that encryption methods meet stringent regulatory standards.The financial implications of investing in robust security measures versus the potential costs of security breaches, including data loss, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.Speakers:Julia Gifford, Co-founder and CEO, TruesixDmitrijs Nikitins, CTO, TetStefan Lueders, CISO, CERNGiampaolo Panariello, CTO of Network Infrastructure, Nokia
