Comment on How Visa Protects Your Data

Comments

the mantraps and hand scanners sound insane to I guess all normal people, but in my experience that is a pretty standard level of security. I have a few 1U servers co-located and I have to pass through multiple mantraps with palm readers to access them.

Agreed. Was reading through their "measures" and pretty much everything is standard process/equipment for your typical medium to high end data center. Man traps, batteries, generators, water cooling, avoid corrosion (uhh duh).

The only things I think they have I haven't seen before:

1) The concrete barrier and hair pin turn. Most data centers don't fear James Bond.

2) The air lifted mailroom.
