With such a large focus being placed on the fast-growing threat of cybercrimes, the danger of internal threats is almost becoming ignored. Whilst it is incredibly important to ensure your systems are protected against external network threats, it is equally vital to ensure you’re protected against internal issues too!

Step 4. Once sufficiently cooled, the NetBotz 250 will turn off the roof fan again.
Step 5. Operation continues as normal.
How does access control work?
Step 1. Remove the existing handles from the back of your rack.
Step 2. Replace said handles with rack access control handles.
Step 3. Restrict access to the rack to credentialed users at specific times.
