Cybercrime is rising worldwide. While some data breaches are caused by weaknesses in the virtual perimeter that allow hackers to exploit software vulnerabilities, a growing number sneak through connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Cameras, access control readers, and other physical security devices are often overlooked as a source of vulnerability. Even as data centers began implementing IP-based technology and IoT devices they didn't always think about how these assets might make their networks vulnerable. But physical security and information security are linked. As cyber threats grow, physical security and IT must work together to safeguard data center infrastructure.

Takeaway

Attendees will learn:
• What kinds of physical security devices and systems present cyber-vulnerabilities
• How IT and security teams can work together to develop a coordinated strategy for hardening systems
• How to conduct a posture assessment and close potential gaps that put networks at risk
