The Security Executive Council’s Security Leadership Research Institute (SLRI) has released highlights of its study on the state of security convergence, conducted jointly with Kennesaw State University’s Coles College of Business.

The research sought to determine the veracity of a common assumption in the security field: that most high-performing and successful security functions operate within a “converged” structure, with corporate and cyber security reporting to a single security or risk executive. It more broadly sought to gauge the state of optimisation that can be had with stronger collaboration between corporate and cyber security.
