Converged Security: Integrating Physical and Cyber Operations

Access control, CCTV, alarms and building management systems now run on the same networks as corporate data, yet many African organisations still manage physical and cyber security in separate silos that attackers exploit. This course shows security managers how to align guarding, electronic systems and information security into one coordinated function. Participants learn to map shared risks, run joint incident response and present a single security picture to executives.
