Definition

SI, or “System Integration,” refers to the process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally to act as a coordinated whole. In the context of security, system integration ensures that integrated systems maintain security controls and policies across all components, preventing vulnerabilities that may arise from disparate systems working together.
