The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is pleased to
announce the publication of the Cybersecurity and Physical Security Convergence
Action Guide,
<https://www.cisa.gov/publication/cybersecurity-and-physical-security-convergence>
which provides guidance on converging cybersecurity and physical security
functions to better position organizations to mitigate cyber-physical threats.
Convergence is defined as formal collaboration between previously disjointed
security functions, and is anchored by communication, coordination, and
collaboration. Organizations with converged security functions are more
resilient and better prepared to identify, prevent, mitigate, and respond to
threats targeting both physical and cyber assets.
The action guide provides information on convergence and the benefits of a
holistic security approach that aligns cybersecurity and physical security
functions with organizational priorities and the cyber-physical threat
landscape. In addition, the guide describes the complex operating environment,
the risks associated with siloed security functions, convergence in the context
of organizational security functions, and provides a flexible framework for
aligning security functions.
