How does colocation improve network security and uptime?

Modern colocation facilities typically implement zero-trust architecture. This essentially means that access to any resources is only granted as needed and to the extent that it is needed. These access controls are enforced by a range of physical and digital security measures.

For example, a typical colocation facility will have robust perimeter barriers complemented by internal segmentation of the data center facility. Access to each segment will be appropriately controlled, often through multifactor authentication, including biometric authentication methods. There will also be automated monitoring, together with remote video surveillance and on-site staff.

These physical measures will be complemented with robust cybersecurity, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and DDoS protection systems. This high level of security reduces the risk of data breaches. Unplanned network downtime is avoided by implementing redundant network infrastructure.
