    Reinventing Physical Security in a Cyber-Driven World | DailyCyber 282 with Oscar Hedaya

    Reinventing Physical Security in a Cyber-Driven World | DailyCyber 282 with Oscar Hedaya ~ Watch Now ~ In this episode of DailyCyber, I sit down with Oscar Hedaya, founder and inventor of The Space Safe, the world’s first next-generation connected safe designed to bridge the gap between physical security and modern cyber threats. For decades, safes have barely changed. Oscar set out to fix that — by designing a safe that incorporates WiFi, cameras, sensors, real-time event visibility, and a mobile app to bring physical protection into the connected era. But with innovation comes new questions: does adding connectivity make a safe less secure? Do people still need safes in a world that uses less cash? And how do you build trust in a product designed to protect what matters most? This episode is ideal for cybersecurity leaders, product designers, IoT professionals, and anyone interested in the convergence of hardware and cyber risk.   🔥 Topics We Discuss 1️⃣ Does modernizing a safe introduce new cyber risks? • How threat modeling changes when adding connectivity • Why traditional safes fail in modern environments • Balancing usability and security-by-design 2️⃣ Why The Space Safe doesn’t allow remote unlocking • Exploit scenarios involving remote access • Why user safety takes priority over convenience • Physical control as a non-negotiable design rule 3️⃣ Are WiFi-enabled safes hackable? • Misconceptions about IoT security • Architecture decisions to isolate critical components • Why “connected” doesn’t mean “remotely breachable” 4️⃣ Why not just use a safe + camera? • The integration problem • Why separate devices leave gaps in awareness • The advantage of unified monitoring and real-time detection 5️⃣ Do people still need safes in a world with less cash? • Securing valuables beyond money: identity documents, medication, digital assets, jewelry • Why hotels and businesses still rely on safe storage • Peace of mind as a technology challenge 👤 Guest Info Oscar Hedaya – Founder & Inventor, The Space Safe Website: https://www.thespacesafe.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ohedaya 👤 Host Brandon Krieger — CEO & vCISO Advisor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonkrieger Website: https://www.DailyCyber.ca 📺 Watch more episodes: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BrandonKrieger 🎧 Listen on the go: DailyCyber Podcast: https://www.DailyCyber.ca 👇 Comment below — Would you trust a connected safe?
