title = "An exploration into work practices of physical security professionals: a sociotechnical perspective",
abstract = "Physical security is a multifunctional practice that plays a crucial role in an evolving business environment. The ubiquitous digitization of information and the pervasive connectivity of work systems have created new challenges for physical security professionals. This research in progress focuses on developing a better understanding of key challenges faced by physical security professionals and exploring the impact of technological advancements on the physical security profession. The empirical inquiry involved 12 security professionals using semi-structured interviews and was conducted from an interpretive stance. The key findings reveal a mismatch between the perceptions of the importance of physical security and the actual practices, increasing awareness of the impact of information technologies on the profession, and mixed views around how to define a body of knowledge in physical security and how to establish its parameters.",
