In addition to physical barriers, Colohouse implements multi-layered access control mechanisms to further enhance security. Biometric authentication, including retina scanning, adds an extra layer of protection by ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas within the data centers. Proximity cards and two-factor authentication further secure access points, reducing the risk of unauthorized entry. Strict access logs and visitor management protocols are in place to maintain accountability and track movements within the facilities.
Cyber Security Protections for Data Integrity
While physical security is crucial, cyber threats are equally pressing concerns in this digital world. Colohouse prioritizes cyber security through a comprehensive set of measures designed to safeguard data integrity and protect against evolving threats. By implementing robust network security protocols, Colohouse fortifies its infrastructure against potential cyber attacks, ensuring that clients’ data remains secure at all times.
A. Network Security
One of the pillars of Colohouse’s cyber security strategy is network security. By deploying intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), Colohouse actively monitors network traffic for any suspicious activity that could indicate a potential breach. Firewalls and access control lists (ACLs) further bolster network security by filtering incoming and outgoing traffic, blocking unauthorized access attempts. Continuous network monitoring and threat intelligence gathering help Colohouse stay ahead of cyber threats, allowing for proactive mitigation measures.
