Home Resources Why Businesses Need Converged Security Now More Than Ever


WHY BUSINESSES NEED CONVERGED SECURITY NOW MORE THAN EVER

Learn why businesses with effective collaboration among their security teams are
well positioned to mitigate the convergence of physical and cyber threats.

Cybersecurity, Corporate Risk

A high speed train abruptly stops short on the tracks. Several hospitals begin
to experience a rise in mortality rates. Both are the result of a cyber attack
with serious implications in the physical world.



The latter is merely one example of how cyber attacks have affected hospitals.
This is largely due to how connected they are to the digital world (e.g.,
medical devices), according to a report on the effect of IoT devices on the
healthcare industry.

Given such ramifications, the spotlight placed on this convergence of cyber and
physical threats—whereby risks that emanate in the digital domain become real
and significant threats in the physical domain—is growing wider, shining
brighter and spurring government and regulatory action.

Learn More: What Is Cyber-physical Security Convergence


THE CALL TO ADDRESS CYBER-PHYSICAL SECURITY RISKS NOW

The convergence of cyber-physical risks will only increase as our world becomes
more connected than we could ever imagine. Governments and regulators recognize
the potential harm and have taken action.

For example, in December 2022, the European Commission issued the NIS2 Directive
to strengthen both the cyber and physical resilience of EU critical entities and
networks. In March, the U.S. White House announced the launch of a working group
dedicated to cyber-physical resilience. It noted that, “we are creating an
increasingly fragile society where the overall [cyber-physical] systems we rely
on can become ever more brittle.”

That’s not to say we’re headed for a global catastrophe. But, it is a reminder
of how far-reaching cyber-physical risks are and the ripple effects they have on
critical infrastructure and systems—and our everyday lives.

Nonetheless, many organizations still operate their cyber and physical security
teams as distinct, standalone disciplines with little to no collaboration on
managing risks. This is no longer tenable and calls for all organizations to
ensure both their cyber and physical security teams have a formal means and
standard of collaboration.

The result, according to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency (CISA), is cyber and physical security functions that are more resilient
and better prepared to identify, prevent, mitigate and respond to cyber-physical
threats.


A SILOED VIEW OF CYBER-PHYSICAL THREATS: HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Traditionally, organizations have kept their physical and cyber security
operations independent of one another. That’s partly due to the relative age of
each practice. Physical security has a long history, while cybersecurity is
comparatively new.

But thanks to the increased use of IoT and IIoT devices, the number of systems
moving to the cloud, and the proliferation of social media and smart devices,
the need for security convergence across industries is greater than ever.

Some examples of cyber-physical risks are more evident, such as the May 2021
ransomware attack on the Irish healthcare system. It led to a systemwide IT shut
down that created a real and imminent threat to patients. Or the well-known and
oft-referenced attack on a Florida water treatment plant that threatened to
poison a city’s water supply with dangerous levels of lye.

Other examples are not as readily apparent, yet still pose significant risks.
For instance, the recent rise in the number of attacks on Internet-connected
industry control systems (ICS), especially those that run critical
infrastructure—from oil companies and gas plants to airlines and traffic light
systems. In some cases, hackers exploit security gaps in access controls to
facilities, allowing them to install malware that compromises an organization’s
entire network. Remote access software used to control ICS and heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems are also common entry points for
attacks that affect both the cyber and physical domains.


BREAKING DOWN SILOS FOR A HOLISTIC VIEW OF SECURITY RISKS

Some experts warn that having siloed teams opens businesses up to operational
blind spots and a weaker security posture. For instance, when a new threat
emerges, oftentimes security practitioners focus only on their area of
responsibility with little knowledge of what is happening on the other side of
the house—preventing both cyber and physical security teams from having a
holistic view of the potential threats.

The solution for many organizations is to merge their cyber and physical
security teams into a single function that detects and responds to all risks, no
matter the domain in which they originate. However, that’s not the only viable
fix.

A significant amount of cyber and physical security leaders have found ways to
collaborate without merging their teams. When done right, the teams find
measurable success. Take for instance Bank of America.

During one of our webinars on cyber-physical trends and threats, Craig Froelich,
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Bank of America, explained how it
works at his company.

“We’re separate organizations, but we’re fully integrated. The team that is
responsible for cyber sits shoulder to shoulder with the team that’s responsible
for physical,” said Froelich. “We use similar processes, we use similar call
trees. We are as integrated as an organization as you can imagine.”

Financial Services and Transportation

Keep in mind that marrying the expertise of cyber and physical security leaders
and teams can be challenging. Often, there is a cultural and skills divide
between the two, which leads them to look at the world very differently. Those
differences can result in poor communication and sometimes outright
miscommunication, two of the biggest problems facing organizations that have yet
to develop strong processes to drive collaboration across these two critical
teams.

There are also logistical barriers to consider, as well as a lack of
understanding at the senior leadership level as to why security convergence is
no longer a nice-to-have—but a business imperative.

Strengthen Their Partnership


WHEN CYBER AND PHYSICAL SECURITY TEAMS JOIN FORCES

There are many benefits to having cyber and physical security teams work in
close partnership:

 * A stronger, more holistic security posture
 * Faster identification of, and assessment and response to, threats that fall
   within both the cyber and physical domains
 * Better communication and sharing of information and technology
 * Improved efficiencies and better outcomes

While each organization will manage and respond to the increasing convergence of
cyber and physical and risks differently, real-time information is at the heart
of their ability to do so. Organizations need to ensure all security teams have
equal access to real-time data on emerging and potential risks—regardless of
where or how the threat begins—and create a clear process for when and how to
communicate that information and which stakeholders should receive it. As such,
being able to detect these cyber-physical events and risks as early as possible
and as they unfold is critically important.

The cyber and physical worlds have been converging for years, but it’s only now
that the ways in which the lines between the two blur have become much more
visible and understood.

Learn how organizations like yours can stay ahead of and effectively mitigate
cyber-physical risks with Dataminr Pulse for Cyber Risk.
