Google: Only engineers are allowed to go in Cameraman: U can't stop me
Google : *has 6 layer security Hacker in movie : I'm in
Do you think that Tom Cruise would make a scene which involves breaking in to Google data center? LOL
This is a good example of physical security as well as authorization. I've worked in secure facilities, but never of this scale; it's truly immense.
Government: give me the data Google: there you go
Building: *Caught on fire System: oNe pErsOn At thE tImE pls..
Google: Shows off their security Bad Guys: write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN
Layer 1: Armed Guards Layer 2: Armed Guards Layer 3: Armed Guards Layer 4: Armed Guards Layer 5: Armed Guards Layer 6: Receptionist
Google: We have 6 layers of security at our data center NSA: I want all your data Google: Ok
imagine breaking through all 6 layers but then realizing you don't know how to hack computers

I've done work inside these types of data centers. Going through the 5-6 layers of security takes about 45 minutes. It's called "commuting in/out". I've worked on the data floor and in the destruction room. I've also worked in the modular date pods that are often out back of these facilities. It's critical infrastructure. Can't be done for less.
NSA: You're cute. Give me the data and also don't tell anyone. Google: Sir, yes sir!
NSA: "Thanks but we are gonna use the back door"
I've gone to a Google data center in Atlanta. That one was interesting. Had similar features but one that stood out was, instead of an iris scanner they had a wrist scanner that scanned your veins since your veins are also different from one person to the other.
" less than 1% of googlers get to see this place. its very secure and private" 1.5M people who viewed this:
I thought it was 6 layer deep in "Digital Security", would love to see that.
6 layers of security: exists Movie hackers: Im 6 parallel universes in front of you
In computer science saying "using locked doors in your data storage room" is a valid answer to "name x ways to keep your data secure", and I always thought this was the freest one point you could get on the paper but I see it's important
