Russian data centers face new security requirements amid Ukraine's drone threats

Russian data center operators are reportedly preparing to spend more on physical defenses as Moscow tightens security requirements for critical infrastructure amid continued Ukrainian drone attacks.

A new decree signed by President Vladimir Putin in late August allows the government to temporarily take control of critical infrastructure if operators fail to adequately protect their facilities, including from drone attacks, according to a report by Russian newspaper Kommersant earlier this week.
