There was once a time when physical security professionals didn’t have to consider cyber vulnerabilities. Now, cybersecurity should be top-of-mind for everyone in the supply chain.

Now more than ever the world is experiencing security threats both cyber and physical, which have been exacerbated by the current world pandemic.”
