The Converging Threat with Charles Margiotta
QTS has designed a comprehensive security program that unifies physical and cyber security under a centralized security umbrella to achieve a more holistic view of the risk landscape.
The threats have changed the landscape. By using both cyber and physical elements, blended security attacks create multifaceted scenarios that can often go undetected until the full-scale attack is carried out.
What is Converged Security?
We deliver an integrated approach to hybrid threats that's unique to the data center industry. Our integrated approach allows us to better plan for and execute standardized security practices and coordinated responses across cyber and physical platforms to avoid attacks. Our model utilizes specialized, security-focused hubs, each of which share data into the Converged Security program.
QTS leverages threat intelligence platforms, robust vulnterability management tools, educational awareness programs, penetration testing, and a variety of IT, OT, and cloud protections to strengthen its cyber security posture.
QTS protects employees and customers through foreign travel assistance, educational awareness, background and financial checks, user activity monitoring, and legal and ethical assessments.
QTS simulates real-world threats to ensure the readiness of an integrated crisis response plan and works closely with local first responders to build strong relationships and improve organizational resilience.
QTS ingests and analyzes data across multiple technologies for anomalies including badge reader activity, video surveillance, and building monitoring systems alerts to best equip its security teams.
QTS shares and collaborates with a variety of threat intelligence sources including customers, vendors, government agencies, and commercial and open sources to promote more informed defenses against hybrid security attacks.
