Episode 57: Physical Security Management

July 7, 2025 · 19 min

Show notes

While cybersecurity often dominates the conversation, physical security remains an essential component of any comprehensive security program. In this episode, we explore how physical controls—like access badges, surveillance systems, security guards, and biometrics—support the protection of data centers, executive offices, and other sensitive facilities. You'll learn how these controls are selected, monitored, and integrated into enterprise-wide risk assessments.

We also highlight the often-overlooked intersections between physical and logical security—such as preventing unauthorized access to critical hardware, intercepting maintenance activities, and managing third-party contractor access. CISOs must ensure that physical controls are not only in place, but tested, maintained, and audited regularly. This episode prepares you for exam questions that frame physical security as a governance and risk management issue, ensuring you treat it with the strategic weight it deserves.
