Video surveillance, access control, and visitor management systems are no longer just the domain of physical security. The NIS2 directive is clear and forces companies to rethink their approach to physical security:

• Is a physical security solution really “secure”
• How can you get real-time analytics and alerts in case of threats?
• How can you balance data protection with business value?

Increasingly, a camera or forgotten controller becomes the weakest link. How can organizations manage hundreds of devices, multiple vendors, and constant updates while meeting NIS2 requirements without crippling operations? During the CIONET Executive Roundtable, organized in collaboration with Verkada, we will discuss why CIOs and IT leaders must take responsibility for these challenges.

Topics covered in the discussion include:

• How NIS2 is changing the approach to physical security
• Integrating physical security solutions such as CCTV, access control, and visitor management with SOC—a necessity or overkill
• Assessing risks in the supply chain: cameras, firmware, cloud, remote service
• Organizing collaboration between IT, OT, and physical security to avoid “silo gaps”
