Enhancing Data Center Security with RF Shielding Solutions

Data Center and Command Center Security – The mission critical market is projected to experience significant growth over the next several years, with estimates indicating it will grow from $23.5 billion to nearly $80 billion by 2032. Data centers largely buoy the mission critical market, which help provide reliable systems and solutions that people and businesses have come to take for granted. Much of the demand for new data centers stems from increased demand for cloud services, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growth of artificial intelligence. Hence, the reason, data center and command center security should be a priority.

However, storing and managing the information that goes in and out of data centers, requires a degree of security that must be implemented to ensure it’s all kept safe and secure. One solution helping data centers accomplish this is window film. Read on to learn more about RF and IR window films and how Signals Defense can help keep your data center safe.

RF/IR Window Films and Data Centers

Most electronics emit RF and IR signals. In the office, equipment like recorders, phones, internet routers, radios, Bluetooth devices and remotes emit RF and IR signals that are largely used for wireless communication. In addition to many of these devices, data centers also house a significant amount of IT infrastructure, which also emits RF and IR signals.

So, what’s the problem with RF and IR signals? When they’re confined to a certain area or setting, nothing. But when these signals emanate beyond a certain property, they may be intercepted by hackers. This is an act known as “electronic eavesdropping,” and it involves hackers intercepting data from signals that are transmitted electronically without the consent of the parties using said devices. By intercepting RF and IR signals that extend beyond a data center, hackers have the potential to access networks and retrieve confidential data.

That’s where RF window film can help. When applied, RF window film rejects RF and IR signals from key entry and exit points, containing signals to data centers – or any property where they’re installed – and minimizing the risk of electronic eavesdropping. RF/IR window films from Signals Defense are thin, easy to apply and remove, and meet the most stringent U.S. intelligence community security requirements to offer peace of mind and maximize protection in high-risk properties, like data centers.

Popular RF/IR Films from Signals Defense for Data Centers

Signals Defense offers a range of RF/IR films. Some of our most popular options include:

SD2500/SD2510: These clear, surface-applied window films exceed U.S. Intelligence Community requirements for RF attenuation and critical infrared protection levels. The SD2500 is 2 mil thick, while the SD2510 is 10 mil thick and includes glass fragmentation and blast protection.
SD1000/SD1010: The SD1000/SD1010 series is like SD2500/SD2510, that it mitigates RF and IR but at a lower dB. The SD1000 is 2 mil thick and offers RF and IR protection, while the SD1010 is 10 mil thick and offers physical protection from blast events, forced entry, natural disasters and more.
SD500: This 2-mill thick RF attenuating film offers 70 percent visual light transmission to maximize security and aesthetics throughout any property.
