ABSTRACT

Today, many organizations have separate Cyber and Physical Security Departments, each assessing and addressing their own venues; often, discussions between the two departments are limited. While at the utility company, I had extensive conversations and meetings with the Information Services Security manager; we concluded that the idea of tracking and analyzing external and internal threats across the cyber and physical realms had great merit. Our discussions made us realize that, in these times, most threats involve a cyber and physical capability to carry out an attack.
