As someone who works in the security space, I can say this is one of the most relevant and well rounded books I have seen on data center security and resilience. Christopher Hills clearly understands that protecting a modern data center is about far more than cameras, guards, and access control. It is about securing an entire ecosystem where power, water, network, operations, life safety, physical security, and cyber considerations all intersect.
What makes this book stand out is its credibility. It is obvious that this was written by someone with real field experience, someone who has seen how mission critical environments are designed, built, operated, and protected in the real world. The content is practical, thoughtful, and grounded in the realities of resilience, not just theory.
I especially appreciated the way it connects engineering, operations, and security into one coherent framework. That is exactly how data center security needs to be approached today. The discussion around insider risk, CPTED, integrated systems testing, and infrastructure dependencies adds real value for professionals responsible for protecting these environments.
This is an excellent resource for security leaders, consultants, engineers, operators, and anyone involved in critical infrastructure. If you work in or around data centers, this book deserves a place on your shelf.
