A compelling use case in the data center industry for digital twins is the inspection and maintenance of high-risk electrical equipment.
But a digital twin also multiplies any underlying security problems in a data center’s operational technology, provides attackers with a new avenue for attack, and can also give attackers unprecedented access into a data center’s operations.
But a digital twin also multiplies any underlying security problems in a data center’s operational technology, provides attackers with a new avenue for attack, and can also give attackers unprecedented access into a data center’s operations.
To address these risks, data centers using digital twin technology should redouble efforts to ensure that they maintain security best practices in the underlying systems, strengthen access controls, and accelerate the transition to a zero trust architecture.
