Keynote: Physical & IT Security Convergence: An Important Trend That Will Likely Have a Lasting Impact on Your Career

 Abstract:

Important changes are taking hold in the physical and IT security markets. Security Information Management (SIM) is something you are already familiar with.  Now, PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) has emerged as SIM’s physical security counterpart. Forward-thinking security professionals from both sides of the organization are already plotting convergence strategies: how does one combine SIM and PSIM to quickly provide more useful intelligence to the security professionals who are charged with responding to and resolving complex security situations while minimizing the overall risk to their company.  

Attendees will learn:

·         How physical and IT security silos are converging

·         A new model for managing situations; not alarms and components

·         How technology can help security systems become risk management systems

·         How to take event and incident management to the next level

·         Real-world examples of how enterprises are deploying PSIM technologies for more effective and safer response
