Looks like a really nice place for a bank vault, yes. But does physical security matter that much for the IT sector? If so, these ridiculous security measures are worth nothing if not accompanied by very, very heavy digital security solutions.
P.S. Why didn't they start a bank in there? Is banking too mainstream already?
- Xylakant 13y agoDoes physical security of bank vaults still matter that much nowadays? Most of your money is stored in bits and that applies to the super-wealthy at least as much as for the mere mortals. It's certainly still important, but the "we'll steal tons of gold and valuable papers" is probably getting old.
- mkuhn 13y agoThere is quite a few "datacenters" in bunkers in the Swiss alps and I guess in other places. Physical security does matter in many cases such as when a bank is storing tapes in a secure location without them being connected. Often the servers are only storing a small amount of the information that is stored in the whole installation.
