Threat convergence

1. Modern threats often bridge the gap between physical and digital realms. For instance: A cyber-attack on critical infrastructure (e.g., power grids) can have physical consequences (blackouts, equipment damage).
2. Physical breaches (e.g., unauthorized access) can lead to cybersecurity breaches (data theft, system compromise).
3. Converged security allows organisations to address these interconnected threats
4. Operational efficiency
   •  Shared resources between physical and cyber security teams lead to streamlined operations
   •  Collaboration reduces duplication of efforts and minimizes gaps in protection
   •  Cost savings result from optimized security processes

Public sector

The integration of cyber and physical security is crucial for the public sector due to the evolving threat landscape and the interconnected nature of modern systems. Cyber-physical threats are increasingly pervasive, complex, and materially impactful. These threats target both digital and physical assets, necessitating a holistic approach to security. Traditionally, cyber and physical security were separate domains with distinct cultures and skill sets. However, today’s landscape demands collaboration and seamless communication between these functions.

A recent survey among business leaders reveals a strong consensus: 76 % of CISOs and CSOs are convinced that a merger of these security functions will sharpen the company’s performance. Even more telling is that 83 % see a single, unified security management as the key to boosting both efficiency and organizational reputation.
