Why cybersecurity should be your physical security priority – Security Magazine

Too often, chief security officers (CSOs) look at their role through two separate lenses: physical security and cybersecurity. The policies and programs for physical security systems differ drastically from those required for cybersecurity.  

And, yes, most CSOs are aware that protecting physical facilities and assets helps prevent cyber breaches, and this logic also works inversely. A recent study by IBM shows that in 2022 the cost of a cyber breach is now over $4M per incident; combine that with data from Palo Alto Networks showing that IP cameras are the most vulnerable enterprise devices, and it’s clear that CSOs have an imperative to focus on both physical and cybersecurity.
