Editor Introduction
There is no shortage of threats facing security professionals, including some that are new and emerging. Understanding various new threats allows individuals and organizations to take proactive steps to protect themselves, but the first step is to identify what those threats are. Early detection of threats can minimize the impact of a successful attack, whatever the vulnerability at issue. We asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: What new and emerging threats will physical security professionals need to be prepared for in the future?

A concern for physical security is the point of entry. Traditional physical security involves setting perimeters and access control; those methods of layering security often rely on technology and network access and therefore, must be cybersecure. If a security measure is disabled or accessed by an unauthorized party due to a weak password or out-of-date firmware, that measure can be rendered unusable or worse, compromised and, for example, allow entry to an unwanted individual.
