Physical and Network Security Merging?

Posted by michael on from the etherkiller dept.

MonMotha writes "CSO reports that physical and network security may be merging in an effort to eliminate redundant jobs, create a more secure security plan, and make security procedures more standardized across the company. This would seem to be a logical step forward as businesses become more and more dependent on their computers, and as the old adage goes, an attacker with physical access already has you owned."
