Selecting the right perimeter intrusion detection system requires more than comparing technologies.

  This technical whitepaper provides a detailed assessment of six perimeter intrusion detection technologies used across hyperscale and colocation data centres. It compares performance, integration requirements, operational considerations and regulatory compliance before introducing practical technology selection frameworks, hybrid deployment strategies and design guidance. Developed from European market experience and industry standards, it helps owners, operators and security professionals make informed decisions based on risk, site conditions and long-term operational performance rather than individual technologies alone.
