Editing Data Center Facility/Operation Technology and Security

[[File:OCP-datacenter-v1-17a3x.png|right]]
==Welcome==

:Welcome to the OCP Operation Technology and Security Sub-Project. The  Industrial Control Systems (ICS) that run our data centers are frequently designed with availability as the focus rather than mitigation of security risk or vulnerability. This has presented a unique security challenge across multiple industries from manufacturing to datacenters. We find this type of equipment is often lacking security fundamentals. Security fundamentals such as modern communication, authentication and authorization mechanisms that we would expect in critical equipment attached to a network are often missing. 

Security issues with this type of equipment are not unique to data centers but are present in multiple industries such as manufacturing and energy. By combining efforts across multiple organizations and industries we can begin to drive a marked increase in the security of these systems and environments. The project's scope is focused on communications, authentication, monitoring and management. 



:This Project is open to the public and we welcome all those who would like to be involved.

==== Current Workstreams ====

To start we are focusing on what a baseline physical security guideline would look like for a COLO or data center, what types of communications standards and protocols would best enable secure comms of this equipment and how we best monitor it for security issues.
