Gently prod a convergence conscientious objector, and what you often discover is a misconception about what the term means. Convergence does not mean ripping the IT security group out from under the CIO and stapling it to the hindquarters of the corporate security group, where a 70-year-old ex-cop security manager can proceed to ignore it. Neither does it mean piling contract guard management on the already overloaded plate of a horn-rimmed, twentysomething firewall jockey who thinks “shredding” is strictly a snowboarding reference.
