A Study on the Development of Convergence Security with the Changes in Security Environments

As new technologies emerge and threats become increasingly complex and unpredictable, security professionals who are living in the age of information face an increasingly complex array of challenges. In recent, virtually all organizations with physical and IT assets protect those assets in a variety of methods. There are physical systems to protect facilities and their contents from unlawful trespassing. It is important to note that the integration of physical and IT security is to be required: When done correctly, the integration starts with laws, strategies, policies and procedures. Integration of physical and IT security systems is done not for its own sake but in support of security policies and procedures. Significant security improvements can be made by integrating physical and IT security management without necessarily integrating physical and logical electronic security systems. Up to now, the private security industries of the Republic of Korea have been operated and developed by the separation of physical security and industrial security. However, considering the fast changing security environments, physical security companies should turn their attention to security convergence field to cope with the new trends in the security matters. At the same time, governmental supports on the improvement of various laws, regulations and policies in such a way to meet the realistic needs of the industries should be followed.

시큐리티 환경변화에 따른 융합보안의 대두와 물리보안업체의 대응

시큐리티 환경이 급변하고 있다. 위협의 종류가 복합화 되고 다양한 채널과 방법으로 발생하고 있으며, 신종위협이 발생하고 있다. 또 보안기술이 비 IT산업에 활용되고 있고 정보통신기술과 스마트폰의 등장으로 비즈니스 환경이 변화하고 있다. 이에 적절하게 대응하기 위해 융합보안이 대두고 있다. 융합보안은 융합관제, 통합인증, 출력물보안 등의 형태로 진전되고 있다. 융합보안 시대를 맞이하여 물리보안 사업자도 보안환경 변화 속에서 새로운 비즈니스 기회를 찾아야 할 것이다.
