The adoption and integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices has led to an increasingly interconnected mesh of cyber-physical systems (CPS), which expands the attack surface and blurs the once clear functions of cybersecurity and physical security. A successful cyber or physical attack on industrial control systems and networks can disrupt operations or even deny critical services to society. Together, cyber and physical assets represent a significant amount of risk to physical security and cybersecurity ? each can be targeted, separately or simultaneously, to result in compromised systems and/or infrastructure. When physical security and cybersecurity divisions operate in siloes, they lack a holistic view of security threats targeting their enterprise. As a result, successful attacks are more likely to occur and can lead to impacts such as compromise of sensitive or proprietary information, economic damage, disruption of National Critical Functions (NCFs), or loss of life?

Discussion Questions After reading CISA (2022)’s Cybersecurity and Physical Security Convergence work,
Select one of the convergence case studies mentioned on page 4 of CISA (2022)’s work at https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-and-physical-security-convergence
Explain how the convergence of cybersecurity and physical security was used to resolve issues seen in your selected case study.
Research the issues identified in your case study.
Based on your research, describe the physical security components that can protect an organization’s computers and network and discuss the environmental factors that may affect convergence of cybersecurity and physical security. Give at least one other example and provide references to support your statements.
