If you're a CIO, CISO, or IT leader who's suddenly inherited physical security - welcome. You're not alone, and it's more manageable than it looks.

In this episode, Tim and Kaz from Gallagher Security explain why doors, cameras, and intercoms have quietly become an IT problem, what modern physical security actually includes, and two actions you can take this week to get control without starting a massive project.

What we cover:

• Why physical security devices are essentially small computers on your network
• The four pillars: intruder alarms, access control, video surveillance, and perimeter detection
• Why "no body owns it" is the real vulnerability
• Shared governance between IT, facilities, and security - without the turf war
• Myth-busting the most common excuses for doing nothing
