Bangalore: As increasing number of firms house critical systems with data centres, security will be their top concern during 2014, according to global IT anti-virus software maker McAfee.

"Data centres are the nerve centre of an organisation making data centre security a top priority for most companies today," US-based McAfee said in a report depicting mega trends that will dominate the security industry in India next year.

With the blurring of boundaries between physical, virtual and public/private cloud, organisations are on an evolutionary curve towards next-generation data centres, the report added.

"Resultantly, they will face the reality of securing data that moves between server, storage, and networking resources (physical and virtual) of next-generation data centres," it said.

The report said that enterprises seek a single security solution for issues like bring your own device (BYOD), which is not practically possible.
