Secure Rack Management System
2. Over 24% of all servers are now
remotely hosted in colocation
sites – 451 Group
Network Edge servers are the
fastest growing segment of
server shipments and all need to
be remotely managed
ALL Rack PDU’s, UPS’s, Servers
and Networking systems in these

SNMP is the standard remote management protocol for
rack servers and power systems.
SNMPv1 and V2 are known to be insecure
“SNMPv3 fails to provide its advertised security
guarantees…The vulnerabilities we demonstrate are
implementation agnostic, and demonstrate a fundamental
flaw in the current protocol.” – Dr. Patrick Traynor, GTU
Rack PDU’s and UPS’s are being used as backdoors for
data theft, for DDoS attacks, and for shutting down systems
But Remote Communications Are Vulnerable

• The Russian attack on Ukrainian
power plant used control room UPS
systems for their attack
• The Staminus cloud attack used rack
PDU units to attack the data servers
• A White Hat hacker attack on servers
through Rack PDU’s caused an
enormous security breach on Wall
Street
Three major cyber attacks have used Rack Power Systems as
key points of attack.
