Description
Security Convergence describes the movement in business to combine the roles of physical security and security management with network computer security measures within an organization. This is the first book to discuss the subject of security convergence, providing real-world illustrations of implementation and the cost-saving benefits that result.
Security Convergence discusses security management, electronic security solutions, and network security and the manner in which all of these interact.
