Biometrics: From Face Matching to Trust Infrastructure
Facial recognition is being used to speed up border crossings, reinforce passkeys and support digital financial services. At the same time, companies are linking biometric data with access rights, risk assessments and government screening systems. Developments in the...
Cyber Intrusion on Crude Oil Supertanker Raises Concerns Over Maritime OT Security
A cyber incident involving the crude oil tanker VL Prosperity has renewed concerns over the security of operational technology aboard commercial vessels. US investigators reportedly identified unauthorised access to a digital system associated with the...
Critical Infrastructure Protection in Europe: From Physical Security to Operational Resilience
Europe’s critical infrastructure protection model is changing. Hybrid threats, regulatory pressure and growing dependencies between physical and digital systems are pushing operators beyond conventional perimeter security. The decisive question is no longer whether an...
Container Data Centres Under Control: Prior1 Uses KentixONE for Security and Environmental Monitoring
Container data centres promise rapid deployment, high scalability and clearly defined technical infrastructure. Yet their compact design does not make security any simpler. Access control, temperature, humidity, fire detection, power supply and video surveillance all...
The Invisible Attack Surface: How Open Data Is Redefining Critical Infrastructure Protection
Sabotage, hybrid threats and terrorist attack scenarios are forcing critical infrastructure operators to rethink what constitutes an attack surface. Sensitive intelligence on facilities, operational routines, supply dependencies and physical activity can increasingly...
Germany’s Data-Centre Dilemma: Can Europe Expand AI Infrastructure Without Overstretching Its Resources?
Germany is debating whether new data centres should temporarily be stopped just as Berlin and Brussels are preparing for a massive expansion of AI and cloud infrastructure. The controversy illustrates a wider European challenge: computing power has become an...
AI Infrastructure: Power and Cooling Become a System-Level Challenge
The expansion of artificial intelligence is changing not only servers and processors, but the physical architecture of data centres. As the power density of modern AI and high-performance computing systems increases, so do the demands placed on grid connections, power...
Alerting and Coordination
Better prepared for emergencies with PWS and CEM Modern Public Warning Systems (PWS) and Critical Event Management (CEM) ensure that members of the public are alerted and informed more quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency. Public authorities and...
AI boom: Data centres are becoming a security issue
The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is driving investment in data centres to record levels. At the same time, power density, technical complexity and reliance on energy, cooling and communications systems are all increasing. This is also fundamentally altering...
