Where is the leadership?

What happens if Bob does not badge in and then someone else accesses Bob's computer and data? Answer: Nothing. It is not even a security event or alert. This scenario illustrates the fact that there is no connection between physical security and data security in corporations. Here is the punch line: Over 15,000 systems have already been sold and installed in corporations in America that enable the integration of physical and data security. Why the disconnect?

I believe it is a failure of leadership. There is nothing to prevent physical security people and data security people working together except for: i) a cultural gap; and ii) the lack of leadership to bridge that gap.

When Tatum's eCrime practice is operating at its highest level, we provide that leadership. Our goal is increase the amount of time we spend operating at that level. In the meantime, we devote ourselves to the blocking and tackling of compliance and operational security.
