IT Managers More Involved in Physical Security Decisions, SIA Reports
IT managers are getting more involved in decisions regarding physical security solutions, according to a new report featured from the Security Industry Association (SIA).

A survey of integrators and installers of IP-based security products by IMS Research found that more than three-fourths of companies are working with IT managers more now than they were a year ago. The survey also discovered that three out of five IT managers are involved in physical security purchase decisions.

“This shows just how much physical security is converging with IT,” says SIA director of research Mark Visbal. “A few years ago, they were different worlds. Now, in many cases, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to separate one from the other.”
