The Role of Physical Security in Cyber Defence
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, organisations can no longer afford to treat physical and cyber security as separate disciplines. Join Tim Rawlins, Director and Senior Advisor at NCC Group, in conversation with Lewis Pinner, Regional Vice President at Verkada, to hear why strong physical infrastructure is a critical foundation for meeting modern cybersecurity requirements.
In this session, we’ll unpack the evolving threats and regulations related to the wider security landscape, real-world case studies of cyber security breaches where physical vulnerabilities played a key role, and share practical recommendations organisations can take to strengthen both their physical and digital defences.
