Description

In our current connected operating environment, the allure of digital transformation and innovation has led security leaders to embrace digitalization as a means to enhance both efficiency and profitability. The adoption and integration of IoT and IIoT devices has led to an increasingly interconnected mesh of cyber-physical systems, which expands the attack surface and blurs the once clear functions of cybersecurity and physical security.

Together, cyber and physical assets represent a significant amount of risk to physical security and cybersecurity – each can be targeted, separately or simultaneously, to result in compromised systems and/or infrastructure. Yet, despite a general consensus around these interconnected risks, physical security and cybersecurity divisions are often still treated as separate entities.

When physical security and cybersecurity divisions operate in siloes, they lack a holistic view of security threats targeting their enterprise. As a result, successful attacks are more likely to occur. Organizations can overcome the potential risks of siloed security functions by implementing this concept of formal collaboration between cybersecurity and physical security functions. The benefits of this formalized collaborative approach often outweigh the challenges of organizational change efforts and enable a flexible, sustainable strategy that is anchored by shared security practices and goals.

This webinar is supported by the Information Technology Security Community as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
