Russian data centers face new security requirements amid Ukraine's drone threats

Russian data centers must implement enhanced physical security measures to prevent Ukrainian drone attacks.

Bottom line: Russian data centers must implement enhanced physical security measures to prevent Ukrainian drone attacks.

What's happening: The Kremlin has mandated that data centers in Ukraine and Russia implement additional physical security measures, with losses to Rostelecom estimated at over $100 million in the first quarter of 2023. Rostelecom and Beeline operate many of these data centers.

What to do: CISOs should ensure that all data centers, particularly those in high-risk areas, conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities and prioritize security upgrades.
