Rostelecom Strengthens Data Center Protection Amid Physical Attacks Through Armed Forces Cooperation
Rostelecom is implementing enhanced physical security measures for its data centers in response to recent attacks on Russian facilities. Company president Mikhail Oseevsky stated that passive protection tools and direct coordination with the Russian Armed Forces are being deployed to safeguard infrastructure. Backup systems alone are insufficient against physical threats, prompting a comprehensive approach that avoids disclosure of specific technical details. No significant client migration from Yandex or VK data centers to Rostelecom facilities has been observed, as affected operators quickly restore operations with mutual industry support. The focus remains on protecting both data and the physical locations housing critical equipment following October incidents.
