    Seminar Details
    Organisations are under threat from ever increasing and more sophisticated hacks, and often it is easier for criminals to simply walk into a building or take advantage of a vulnerable employee than try to hack a well-defended network - Many threats today now combine electronic, physical and offline (e.g. social engineering) tactics! However, for many herein lies a problem – physical and Information Security are frequently siloed and don’t know how to talk to each other. It is in-between the silos that cracks can appear and pose big risks to an organisation. Questions considered during this discussion will include:

    • Why bother – what are the benefits of converged security and are the benefits actually worth it in the first place?
    • Where do I start – keeping it simple
    • How have converged threats become so much more dangerous?
    • How do I assess my priorities – adopting a risk management approach
    • How do I plug the physical and Information Security culture gaps in the business – flexibility, training and education
    • Will it mean having to rip out the existing infrastructure?
    • Communicating the problem to the Board - Re-organising the business to cope
