This just in from the Security Industry Association (SIA) and ASIS International:
SIA and ASIS International are jointly proud to share a thought-provoking new white paper by Microsoft and Accenture that will challenge security suppliers and practitioners to think hard about how they embrace and leverage digital transformation to enhance the value of security across the entire business enterprise.
The profound potential impact of digital transformation upon security cannot be overstated, as emphasized by SIA board member and ASIS CSO Center member Michael Foynes, senior director, Microsoft Global Physical Security Operations:
“Cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning with edge IoT are blurring the lines between logical and physical environments. Traditional security risk management and threat detection are quickly becoming obsolete. Security leaders who do not embrace a digital mindset risk becoming business irrelevant.”
We recommend that SIA and ASIS members review this landmark white paper, Future of Physical Security: Extending Converged Digital Capabilities Across Logical & Physical Environments. The resource includes information on new approaches for a changing threat landscape, innovative risk management, the unification of physical and cybersecurity and more.
