What is the purpose of Security Convergence.

What are some of the key approached organization use to acheive Security Convergence

Briefly described a real-life project you researched where security convergence was achieved realizing at least three of the benefits below:

Significantly lower costs

Use existing servers to make the decisions.

Use existing IT infrastructure (switches, cables, UPS systems) to keep the system running.

Use existing IT redundancy and backup to protect in case of failures.

Let the IT department protect valuable data and keep out cyber-intruders.

Merge physical access (doors) and logical access (computers) into a single system.

Let security worry about the "who, when, and where." Let IT handle moving the data.

Take away remote databases not managed by IT, and reduce the ability of hackers to penetrate the access system and use it as a gateway to the rest of the IT system.

Save significant hardware money tp spend on other security measures.
