United Kingdom Data Center Physical Security Market Size (2024 - 2029)

United Kingdom Data Center Physical Security Market Analysis

The United Kingdom Data Center Physical Security Market size is estimated at USD 89.48 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 181.15 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 15.10% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The security measures can be divided into four layers: perimeter security, facility controls, computer room controls, and cabinet controls. The first layer of data center security aims to deter, detect, and delay unauthorized entry of personnel at the perimeter. If there is a breach in the perimeter monitoring, the second layer of defense restricts access using an access control system that employs card swipes or biometrics.

The third layer of physical security further restricts access through various verification methods, including monitoring all restricted areas, deploying entry restrictions such as turnstiles, providing VCA, using biometric access control devices to verify finger and thumbprints, irises, or vascular patterns, and employing radio frequency identification. The first three layers ensure that only authorized personnel can enter. However, additional security measures to restrict access include cabinet locking mechanisms. This layer addresses concerns about an 'insider threat' such as a malicious employee.
