Episode Summary

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.
