Converged Physical and IT Security Isn’t Just a Trend, It’s a Necessity

William Jackson writes on GCN.com:

Cyberattacks increasingly will be used to magnify the effect of physical attacks or hamper responses to them, said analysts from the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit. “In the future, cybervulnerabilities will determine where physical attacks will take place,” said Scott Borg, director and chief economist of the US-CCU, in a GovSec presentation.

The US-CCU is a government-funded, independent research organization established in 2004 with a shoestring, four-month budget of $200,000 from the Homeland Security Department.
