According to a 360 Privacy survey covered by Dark Reading, more than eight in ten security and wealth professionals say cyber and physical security can no longer be separated. The finding points to a new reality in which executives' digital exposure is treated as a gateway to physical risk.
That same survey indicates that many high-profile executives feel 'untouchable.' This perceived invulnerability, professionals say, is dangerous because online information and digital footprints can set the stage for real-world threats.
For security teams, the takeaway is clear: executive protection must span both cyber and physical domains. The old division between the two disciplines is no longer sufficient, the survey suggests.
