Commercial real estate (CRE) continues to be the largest asset for any organization. When it comes to building properties that attract top tenants, technology plays a key role. Today’s CRE tenants want the latest and greatest, but new technology also comes with increased risks and costs, especially in the hyper-connected Internet of Things (IoT)-driven world we live in. Commercial property managers need security strategies that address the ever-evolving nature of today’s threats without sacrificing the convenience and flexibility the workforce demands.
Commercial building systems and devices are more connected than ever. So why are cyber and physical security teams still kept as separate entities? Commercial properties need to address security in a holistic way to truly be protected from today’s threats. Combining cybersecurity and physical security, or security convergence, helps unify teams and systems for improved risk management.
