Security operates in an ever-changing world and evolving threat environment. Rapid advances in technology and the constant threat of cyber criminals are forcing the convergence of physical and cybersecurity that will require both short- and long-term investment. Security professionals must present a convincing analysis that informs the organization’s bottom line. A successful business case for security significantly increases the likelihood of receiving the necessary funding to reduce organizational risks and finance essential security functions.
