About the Event

As demand for data storage, in general, and cloud services, in particular, grows rapidly, so does the need for data centers. At thousands of sites across the country, these facilities, each holding vast amounts of digital information essential to the operation of businesses and organizations, have effectively become a new component of critical infrastructure. This makes ensuring their security and resilience vital to the functioning of society.
