EasyChair Preprint no. 12217

Abstract

As the demand for data processing and storage continues to surge, the establishment of sustainable data centers has emerged as a crucial endeavor. These eco-friendly infrastructures aim to minimize environmental impact while meeting the escalating needs of digitalization. However, amidst the pursuit of sustainability, the imperative to fortify cybersecurity remains paramount. This paper explores the intersection of cyber resilience and sustainability in data center operations, elucidating strategies to enhance security without compromising environmental goals. Firstly, the paper examines the evolving landscape of data center sustainability, encompassing advancements in energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, and resource optimization. It underscores the importance of aligning sustainability initiatives with robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard critical infrastructure against evolving cyber threats. Subsequently, the paper delves into the multifaceted dimensions of cyber resilience within sustainable data centers. It delineates proactive strategies such as threat intelligence integration, real-time monitoring, and robust incident response frameworks to mitigate cyber risks effectively. Furthermore, it underscores the significance of fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness and collaboration among stakeholders to bolster resilience across the data center ecosystem.
