Since 1999, Boris Goranov has been involved in security, in terms of hacking smart cards at TNO. He holds a Master's degree in electrical engineering from the Delft University of Technology. The subject of his thesis was to design and pilot an electronic voting system for democratic elections. In the Security practice of Siemens IT Solutions and Services, he is responsible for Identity topics relating to smartcards and PKI, mainly focusing on the government and the healthcare market. During the past couple of years, he has given many talks on the convergence of logical and physical access control, elaborating on the lessons learned from various projects. Besides his work with IAM and smartcards, Boris Goranov is also active in the field of security policy development and business continuity management for large organizations in the government and industry sectors. In large (embedded) deployments, or high security environments, he is expert in developing overall security architectures and security roadmaps.
Physical and Logical convergence, fresh from the trenches Wednesday 17 September, 11:15 - 12:00The world of security and security management is deeply divided between two factions. One faction is the world of IT and logical security and the other is the world of the facilities and physical security. The need to converge is recognized and endorsed almost unanimously by many of those involved in both factions, but reality is both harsh and unforgiving. Both factions deal with roughly the same topics and have the same concerns, but in a different domain, using different vocabulary, with a contrasting view of the world. This gives rise to misunderstandings.
In this talk, the main drivers for convergence will be highlighted, as will the need to bridge the gap. There is no secret magical formula to resolve this elusive problem, however, the address explores how maximum synergy and minimal friction can be achieved within the different organizations, as well as providing a true insight into this fascinating development.
