Physical security and cybersecurity have officially converged. Threats in 2026 are often hybrid: a hacker might open a physical door via a network command, or an intruder might enter a server room to install malware. Consequently, compliance with standards like ISO 27001 is now a baseline requirement for physical security devices. Security teams must now secure IoT devices as rigorously as IT assets, ensuring end-to-end encryption and regular firmware updates.
