Secured Presents: West to East with James Gammon

Welcome to Secured Presents: West to East, a 45+ episode series filmed live at ISC West where we bring the biggest voices in security into real, unfiltered conversations. In this episode, we’re joined by James Gammon, CEO of Door and Hardware Institute. In this episode, we dive into: • Why doors and hardware still matter in a digital-first security world • The relationship between physical openings, access control, and life safety • How modernization impacts the people who design, install, and maintain these systems • And why the physical layer can’t be ignored as the industry moves toward software, identity, and AI This conversation is a reminder that the future of security still depends on the fundamentals working correctly. This series is about more than trends. It’s about capturing an industry in motion. Let us know in the comments: Are we overlooking the physical layer while chasing innovation?
