DeNexus, a provider of end-to-end cyber risk management for operational technology (OT), today announced a key expansion of its cyber risk management solution, DeRISK, for data center facilities. This new capability models and quantifies physical-to-cyber risk, which occurs when an entity bypasses a data center facility’s physical security to advance the objective of executing a cyber attack and supports the justification of both physical and cyber security investments for data centers.
Planning and forecasting security investments for existing and future data center facilities requires financial quantification of both physical and cyber risks. With this new capability, DeRISK’s models capture the facility’s physical security zones, the various access paths from zone to zone, the related physical access controls and their effectiveness, and the probability of a successful bypass that could result in a cyber event. With DeNexus, security leaders can understand physical and cyber exposures at their data center facilities, estimate the potential financial loss from a breach, and run “what-if” scenarios for various risk mitigation investments to strengthen physical and cyber…
