The concept of convergence is an idea whose time has come; however, only about 15 percent of global enterprises operate a combined security department. Despite a slow start, more companies are considering the merits of convergence. The growing support among security professionals and the continuing integration of physical security systems with IT systems are fuelling this trend. There is also increasing pressure to implement true enterprise risk management, which encourages a business-oriented, holistic view of security that goes beyond IT and physical security to include security processes in human resources and other areas of the organization.
