Abstract

Due to technological innovations and priorities to manage risk at the enterprise level, convergence is occurring between physical and information security functions, responsibilities and missions. In order to adapt to this evolving security environment and protect the organisation from multi-vector threats, information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), and physical security groups must develop trust, enhance communications and information sharing, and engage in cross-domain adaption. As the convergence occurs, organisations are experiencing more multi-vector threats from diverse actors. One area with a high potential for convergence is the security operations centre (SOC). If done properly, the combined joint security operations centre (JSOC) is the most effective way to manage security risks. This paper will address how organisations can best integrate these disparate functions, situations where this cohesion is most effective, and best practices to increase the effectiveness of this integration.
