Google data center security

[BulletOfBullets]

Never heard "Data center" or "Google" so much in the space of 10 minutes.

[BurritoBazooka]

Who'd have thought that someone can make so much money from advertising alone...

[04atlantagto]

I am white and I work there as security.

[BOREDRESOLVER]

The kid on Tron made it look easy to get in a server facility...

[adrianTNT]

5:15 so after all that, all you need is a white Dodge Charger and a "Police" sticker to bypass millions of dollars of security.

[32CoolestDude]

thank u for the tips....i mean sharing ur concerns

Sincerelt, Chinese Hacker

[NightWolfEditing]

0:53 Is that a fucking IDE drive? What is this? 2002? GO TO SATA!

[tahkevin]

ok so all security is black, and all the tech and cs guys are white, nothing funny about that, just an observation.

[trentdavis2369]

Checking her Gmail at 4:54

[BauTreffTeam]

really high security!

[ASDfasdfasdfful]

4:30 The Google data center is monitored by 5 black people because we do not trust white or asian people.

[ALLSTARDECOURO]

@ASDfasdfasdfful lol

[BelialCar]

@ASDfasdfasdfful Black people that work for private security firm G4S, previously known as Wackenhut. (Wiki them)

[gabsata]

What about electromagnetic pulse?

[astralacuity]

@gabsata Only EMP signals in fiction actually have significant damage. Generating an EMP that could compromise a data center would require energy equivalent to that of an atomic bomb, and at that point you might as well just nuke the place. And no, the centers are not secured against nukes. Although all data from any given center has backup copies in one other center somewhere else, and the backup network is interconnected through a secure intranet.

[mischu860]

@astralacuity

Yeah that's what you say...

take a look @ swiss fort knox

[yzubkov]

I found it funny that one of the computers is running Win XP at 3:05. I thought these guys were strong supporters of Linux/ Opensource. Guess not.

Also, this video gives a false sense of security. Largest threat is being hacked by a Chinese teenager.

[Opencraftserver]

cool :)

[aethiops007]

The Google Fortress.

[w29ftw]

@ShesLikeHeroin17: There are 3 ppl @2:33 who are coincidentally white. You call that racism? Maybe you should skip to 4:30.

[Penrod024]

@w29ftw Don't you just love the ignorance of people? Haha I love how people go off without getting their facts straight first...

[MoldytoasterMedia]

all the security people are black

[MoldytoasterMedia]

destroying drives?? seems a bit excessive..

[bujnmi]

3:40



[griffithd05]

Don't care, still not going to upload my p0rn to the cloud.

[hhoowwaarrdd]

HI GUYS

[sonyvegasfxvideos]

The black people are the only one in the security center because:

Which one would you rather guard YOUR compound??

The white nerds running around the server racks?

OR the black toughguys in that security room?

.

Point shown.

[kcj1993]

Google: protecting your data from any threat, except your government. 

[HudsonCardins]

3:24 Trainees always forget things open..

[kitokidoo]

WOW :O

[csshih]

1:07 isn't that windows xp?

[chuckmahon]

Someone at Google please turn off comments for this posting!

[themachinedoctor]

I like goggle's approach to affirmative action. If you have to hire em, Stick their Fat Black Asses in a closet and give them a TV to shut them up.

[fonzi0243]

Fuck off! Bullshitting cunts!

[lovrenz11]

..and they still managed to lose 4GB of my emails in split of second :-( Any attempt to get them back by calling their help desk support failed.....

[Tupcek]

have anyone noticed, that this looks kinda like a Black Mesa? Maybe they have some bigger, secret facilities :) And if Black Mesa is owned by Google, I bet my car that Aperture Science is owned by Apple (judging by simplistic, clean design)

[Ettoize]

lol, you can just turn left at 1:48

Physical security is one thing but answer me this Google.... Who is gonna protect us from you?

[bhan87]

@LigerZer077 You're missing the point of the video. This is to show the level of security Google places on business / school data when potential customers switch to Google Apps. Also, consumer-level services offered by Google are operated differently from Apps for schools / businesses. For instance, all ads and ads-related scanning is stripped away, business data is restricted to only client company IT staff and those who are needed to ensure they stay up (like in the vid)

[LigerZer077]

@bhan87 I think that your missing the point of my comment. I see nothing special about the physical security shown in this video. How is it different to any other enterprise network? oh hang.... retinal scanners.... i see now, LOL. At the enterprise level access to Server rooms is always limited to IT staff, at least on every network i have worked on. It comes down to the FACT that cloud computing is NOT and NEVER will be secure. They can try to convince all they want... but it wont work.

[bhan87]

@LigerZer077 Cloud computing is actually MORE secure for the majority of small and mid-size companies and for a great share of large companies. Smaller companies don't have the resources to deploy the security measures Google takes to protect their company data. Physical security, firewalls, anti-virus controls, etc are all very expensive. Since Google specializes in this field, they can provide those service at a much lower cost. Microsoft can mimic this security, a startup can't.

[bhan87]

@LigerZer077 Also, do a quick search for FISMA certification, a very rigorous government certification process that evaluates whether a service is fit to protect government data.

[chromatic1976]

@bhan87 you fukin nobjob, shut the fuck up

[LigerZer077]

@bhan87 SO after looking at FISMA i am now thinking that you are either:

(a) a Google fan boy

(b) work for Google

(c) some form of intelligence operative (possibly NIST)

(d) a complete wanker (all of the above)

[bhan87]

@LigerZer077 I assure you I'm not a Google employee. I certainly am a huge Google fan, but that has nothing to do with whether the cloud computing model is secure. Google Apps is FISMA compliant and SAS 70 compliant (both rigorous tests of security). Many large companies already have entrusted Google with their company data after running their own evaluations. Regardless, you don't have to listen, but I think anyone viewing these comments should get both sides.

[chromatic1976]

@bhan87 google is a money hungry corporation, you suck dick and are retarded. this video is another load of crap. What did you learn from this video? nothing!!! nothing nothing nothing!!! but u are a brainwashed idiot. Google loves you idiots, what technological advances in security technology does this video prove. none, it's properganda.

[bhan87]

@chromatic1976 Yeah... I'm really the one that comes off as the idiot in that comment exchange...

[rusty100889]

@LigerZer077 you realize the only reason you can angrily comment on a youtube video is thanks to google data centers right?

haters gunna hate

[chromatic1976]

@rusty100889 you tube was good before google bought it. Anyone who backs up a huge money hungry corporation with no morals is bottom of the barrel shit.

you brain has been brainwashed by very savy scientists who work for google, you are blending into the perfect person for them. We are viewed by google as data not humans.

You typical response is to carry on backing up google and laughing at comments like mine.

retards gunna retard

[annuit02]

Thanks google, now I know exactly all that I need to do to get in and steal date.

[nycoshouse]

after the crushing process, the remains are sended to a recycling center, looool like 'Ghana : digital dumping ground' or like 'burning the remains and send it in the air we breath' ?

[Floxit]

And Google Create GlaDOS ;-)

[9744167215]

@vajtosan may be for just checking the hardware

[c0wz]

Google, start selling virtual private servers.

[3dbox]

if they are destroying disks then why they are overwriting data?

[mrcrazymonkeysb]

Thank You, Google!!! Great job with security, on your servers... now all you need is security on Android :) Thanks! Love ya, G.

[ShesLikeHeroin17]

2:33 Why is everyone white? Oh I'm sorry that's right, it's only weird when minorities are shown exclusively.

[butlerphilipj]

@ShesLikeHeroin17 ... By statistical definition, there's a much lower chance that a random sample would contain all minorities than any other combination. In the case of all-white vs. all-black, it's roughly equivalent to a 20/100 chance of all-white vs. a 4/100,000 chance of all-black. It's not racism, it's math. Having said that, who the hell cares?  They work at Google so they're obviously pretty damn competent...

[Darkhenne]

@ShesLikeHeroin17 the security team is black ^^

[michaeldanova]

@ShesLikeHeroin17 did you notice all the BLACK SECURITY GUARDS?

[Penrod024]

@ShesLikeHeroin17 You're a fucking idiot...

Maybe if you'd watch the whole video, you would see, that at 4:30, there are more than just white people working there.

I love how ignorant people can be...

[adrianTNT]

@ShesLikeHeroin17 Look at 2:31 and look at 4:31 google doesn't like to mix colors, and look how small is the second office :))

[Charbax]

So is all the data on the hard drives somehow encrypted so if someone gets physical access or remotely hacks into those hard drives they couldn't possibly read what's on those? Are copies stored in different data centers all over the world to provide reliability?

[RapFSU07]

Google goes to great lengths to make sure your information is protected, so they can sell it. You don't want people getting access to free product!!

[nilocarlos2]

the black dudes are watching everybody, BUT, how is watching the black dudes ?? So, google is not that secure!!!

[Thezousz]

james bond shit ... :X

[amfikz]

you forgot to mention CIA in your video :D

[funnyboy2]

Was there any intruders so they need so much security?

[dovilea]

Still less cameras than in a random London street.

[webcoolio]

seems like a nice film set up.

[rbradaigh]

So even though Google Search stores my IP address I know it's safe with them. I still think I'll use Startpage for my searches.

[thesparxinc]

anyone counted the words "data center" ?

[simran896]

SONY! WATCH AND LEARN!

[davidsuggitt]

@simran896 exactly. good call.

[Goddid1]

Black people are dominating in sports and running the country......who seen that coming??? I remember when black people were only viewed in a negative connotation but now they are actually revealed to be so much more...Man my forefathers were some baboon like idiots who only thought the world revolved around them as they stayed stewed in their drunken greed and incestual social behaviors....thank GOD they died off!!! Now its time for a dose of reality :^)

[elishnevsky]

Look at the monitor in the back in 3:06 The specialized, stripped-down version of Linux mentioned in 0:59 looks a lot like Windows XP :)

[GhostSonic]

@elishnevsky Obviously the XP machines aren't the servers.

[elishnevsky]

@GhostSonic I hope so! :)

[GhostSonic]

@elishnevsky The servers don't have their own monitors, they have to interface with them somehow.

[davidsuggitt]

@elishnevsky those are workstations. the servers are clearly linux or youtube would never be possible under windows boxes. one virus would rip through the facility like wildfire.

[Apeiro1024]

2:33 I like how the fat guy has the smallest screen :d

[Gadvac]

Google is now even more awesome.

[privateserverman]

4:33

Black people stopping crime? Hmmm...

[MrWillydiaz761]

GOOD!!! I LOVE YOU GOOGLE

[jnrolf]

Windows XP at 2:50

[adimw]

@keoshix just a regular 22" (or similar) with rotation... common as knob cheese.

[TreF68]

Sony should take lessons.

[mts2457]

where is this? CA?

[jakerawk]

@mts2457 SC

[PUNCHD0NKEY]

inafter psn

[kuunniii]

i feel like their entire security team is black.

[pintomelo]

saw windows xp twice!

[dutorg]

@pintomelo So cool, makes me proud of using xp

[zz22394]

It is great.

[Ferrarimangp]

I see the Jheri Curl is comin back! 5:13

[AlexanderRhettCrammr]

2:46 I live in South Carolina and I'd really like a Google logo with our tree and moon =)

[freemind62]

You forgot to mention the the talking machinegun turrets.

[oyikomot]

社員の教育について言及されていなかったのは残念だ。セキュリテ­ィで最も重要なのは、社員のモラルだからだ。

[TonyTheChameleon]

I know of a datacenter manager who thinks that putting these videos on the net is a huge security risk.

[hackmamut]

3:10 XP duh

[massive4r7]

@hackmamut wow, you're right. what's up with that?

[matwocents]

And in the event of nuclear armageddon or occasional flood of Biblical proportions, will my Google Apps data still be secure?

[strubinator]

The perfect environment for the birth of Skynet. I love it! You go, Google! You rock the data protection world. Be sure to let us know when Skynet is born.

[phiberoptick]

Hey googles you gots mah datas?

[boeinggreen]

this is where the Skynet will be coming from

[fernandojacobsen]

E mesmo assim consguem roubar as senhas do orkut huahuahuah

[Aotommo]

It's a shame they don't give any sort of tours or demonstrations for the public. I don't live too far from Monck's Corner and would actually be pretty interested at getting an in-person glimpse of Google doing its thing.

[Blinkwing]

Google's data is not save from Chuck Norris.

[jasonaowen]

@Blinkwing Chuck Norris is one of the undisclosed protective measures.

[tvalleau]

Because they couldn't find any white southerners smart enough to do the job?

[billbailey25]

Am i the only one who noticed that the entire video analysis and patrol security team is black 4:30

[bstrickler]

@billbailey25

That's because at night, nobody will see them coming! Or it's a job that a trained monkey can do.

[scottlemery]

@billbailey25 And that matters because... ?

[tishisaka]

下のキャプションが中途半端に切れているのがいらいらする

[derytaro]

sex and the city

[programmer4life1]

So, my dear Sony, you can learn something from Google about data centers! #ps3

[duduzerah]

Very interesting.

[b1naryd1g1t5]

Meanwhile NSA has access to everything in these data centers.

[Foepulaatio]

@b1naryd1g1t5 So what?

[slomrs1]

New mission for ocean 11

[PostLogo]

Aperture Science!

[Oliarvis]

Niggerz!!

[TdotRob]

Well, at least there are no expendable red-shirt security personnel.

[vadimbolshakov]

Well.. now plz let me in, so i can be assured you saing truth. And this video is not just a tricky performance

[fulcrum2000]

Anybody noticed that all the "simple" security guys are black, while the engineers and other stuff are white?

Mhhh...makes me thinking...

na, just kidding... i don't care.

[TheFesta01]

@fulcrum2000 - your not the only person who noticed that, i was like .....huh?

[idddq]

impressive

[oidenburga]

lol PATA Harddrive :D

[DarknessAssassin94]

amazing

[MrUniQat]

do you know what all these harddisks costs??? why are you shredding them?

[matjazpro]

the guy in yellow t-shirt was watching p0rn ;) 2:33

[kreml1984]

00:52 P-ATA :D

[0Rajk]

Yes they are sure to secure your data, so they can SELL your data to the highest bidder, so thank you google for the brainwashing

[rshintss]

Dont fuck with google.

[Vajtosan]

If they're using Linux, why is there a Win XP at 3:10 ^˛-

[Boymentation1994]

@Vajtosan He said the server. 

[jdylanstewart]

@Vajtosan their servers run custom Linux, but they can use anything they want to interface with them

[NineTailsDemonFox]

@Vajtosan when was the last time that you heard of someone doing a bench test using Linux?

[metodthebrave]

4:40 why is everyone black ???

[endow85]

@metodthebrave 2:32 why is everyone white ???.. any more stupid questions?

[HoodenHen]

@endow85 cause it might be finland, where not many black people even live?

[GalacticApple]

First rule of hacking: Anything can be hacked.

[koncano]

anybody noticed security staff is all black? :D

[domi8imod]

@koncano wrong, look at the first one 1:40

[thesparxinc]

@koncano not true... about minute 2

[thoveNTV]

@koncano

what wrong?? You are rasist????????

[piftubes]

@koncano Oh yeah sure, the first guard at entrance is white, the second at buidling entrance is white... Geeez.

[piftubes]

@koncano Oh yeah sure, the first guard at entrance is white, the second at buidling entrance is white... Geeez.

[koncano]

@piftubes yeah where the all work is done..

[amonamarths]

I bet this guys here use firefox and IE

[migec]

i think that wide screen monitor at 0:59 is turned the wrong way

[eelthenk]

looks alot like CISSP :)

[ForEverSparta]

give the guard station guy a chair..

[shrapnel09]

I bet they're only using the static wrist straps for the video at 1:10 . Nobody really uses those in real life.

[fadumpt]

@shrapnel09 That was my thought exactly when I saw it :)

[eskabarz90]

What would be the damage if you would bomb these houses? lol

[JL0183]

bullshit your information is NOT safe because the government has access to the information stored on these google apps fucking hypocrits

[thecssnoobz]

aperature science anyone ?

[teft90]

2:50 and 4:48 shows winxp machines :o

[teft90]

2:49 and a win xp machine appears xD

[akafortes]

Linux of course :D

[serdasteclas]

What is Windows XP doing in this video?

[OmnipotentO]

Hard drive overkill
