“Security system integration” also refers to the trend within a growing number of organizations to merge physical security applications, such as access control, and logical security applications, such as biometric identification programs and facial recognition surveillance that allow employees to use the corporate network, into a single, comprehensive system.
Integrating different elements of an organization’s physical and logical security systems offers a range of benefits. For starters, it provides a more comprehensive approach to security that’s less vulnerable to incidents and better able to respond if one occurs.
