Does your SOC really protect the entire business, or does its visibility stop at the firewall? In this episode of The ITSM Practice Podcast, Luigi Ferri explores drone threats against data centers and what they reveal about gaps between Cybersecurity, Physical Security, Facilities, IT Operations and Business Continuity. Discover why CISOs need to rethink the traditional cyber attack surface and focus on protecting the complete service.
In this episode, we answer to:
Where should the SOC security perimeter really end?
How can CISOs identify the true attack surface of a critical business service?
Who owns the incident when Cybersecurity, Physical Security and Facilities each detect different parts of the same threat?
