Traditionally, organizations have treated physical security and cyber security as siloed ecosystems. But these silos can prevent companies from keeping their people and assets safe and diminish the effectiveness of a risk mitigation and management strategy.  

The convergence of cyber security and physical security closes the gaps and vulnerabilities that exist in the space between these functions.
