I have an interesting use case.
Because of a lack of space, a few machines which were "free range" in a
locked office are now going to have to go into a shared space. The
powers that be are concerned about the security of these machines, both
in terms of the hardware being "liberated" and data exfiltration.
The machines are interesting because not only do they not require
external network connections, they can't have it. The project specs
require an air gap between the machines' network and my infrastructure.
My kneejerk reaction is that I should order a half height rackmount
cabinet, special-order locks, and have modifications made so that it can
be bolted or chained to the floor, but I've never had to bank vault-ify
a rack before, so I thought I'd ask you first.
If you had to secure a rack from access in a public, shared space, and
it didn't require external network access (so no tender, vulnerable
wires poking out), how would you do it? What product(s) would you
recommend?
Also, there's really no concern about securing the power feed. If it
gets unplugged, that's sad, but it's not tragic, because neither the
machines nor their data have been compromised in that case.
Thoughts? Thanks for your time!
I bought one of these for home use:

They have a 25U version too.
It even comes with air filters for the bottom vents.
You would just need to re-key the locks and use standard earthquake bracing.
