Physical security is the protection of people, property, and physical assets from actions and events that could cause damage or loss. It includes physical deterrence, detection of intruders, and responding to those threats. The growing sophistication of physical security means IT and physical security are becoming more closely connected. The 2021 Mid-Year Outlook State of Protective Intelligence Report from the Ontic Center for Protective Intelligence is based on a survey of 300 physical security decision makers, CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, and other IT leaders.”]
