Question 1

What are the different types of security in a data center?

There are many different types of security that keep a data center and its information secure – from locked doors to complex encryption algorithms.

Accepted Answer

Cisco's security solutions synergistically work together by following three core components of data center security: network security, application security, security operations management.

Using application firewalls and intelligent data filtering and analysis techniques to keep applications and their users safe is the role of the second component. Centralized management of security policies and incident response makes up the operations management component.
