It would seem MI5 has thwarted an alleged Al-Qaeda plot to attack a major colocation provider in the United Kingdom. It was not supposed to be threatened by way of any kind of cyberterrorism, but by infiltrating and bombing the facility from the inside. There are three important points here: 1. A significant number of security problems are due to employees and contractors, not outside parties. 2. It’s equally important to have physical security considerations as well as those for “cybersecurity.” 3. Don’t allow a single point of failure.
