An Information Security Place

I am really starting to take a hard look at this security convergence issue. Many committee members at TRISC seem to recognize this, so they invited a few physical security folks to speak. I saw both of the presentations, and they were very interesting. I liked the respect given to information and network security by the physcial security people, and I believe the physical security people deserve that respect right back from us on the IT side.

These stovepipes need to be broken down so we can move forward. Regulations are starting to make this necessary, but many “old school” people on both sides are going to try to hinder this (mainly from the organizational level, since there are some standards coming out to address this).

I will have some more thoughts on this later as I look more deeply into the subject.
