The traditional boundaries between physical and cyber security are rapidly disappearing, creating both risks and opportunities for organizations of all sizes. This eye-opening conversation with Casey Rash from Secure Passage explores the critical intersection where these two domains meet and the innovative solutions emerging to bridge this gap.

Casey brings his fascinating journey from Marine Corps signals intelligence to fintech security to the partner side of cybersecurity, sharing valuable insights about career development along the way. His key advice resonates deeply: build a strong professional network and be open to exploring different security domains before finding your niche.

The conversation dives deep into how everyday physical security devices have evolved into sophisticated data collection points. Today's smoke detectors can identify THC in vape smoke and detect distress calls. Modern security cameras perform advanced detection functions like tracking objects, identifying crowd formations, and reading license plates. All this creates valuable security telemetry that remains largely untapped in most organizations.

What makes this discussion particularly valuable for security professionals is understanding how Secure Passage's solutions—Haystacks and Truman—map to specific CISSP domains including Security Operations, Security and Risk Management, and Asset Security. Their "Physical Detection and Response" (PDR) approach applies cybersecurity principles to physical security data, creating a more holistic security posture.

Perhaps most telling is the organizational disconnect Casey highlights between physical and cyber teams. As he notes, "If you talk to CISOs today, it's a crapshoot who's managing physical security." This division creates significant risk, as threats in one domain frequently impact the other—from terminated employees becoming both physical threats and insider cyber risks to non-human identities outnumbering human identities 10-to-1 in most environments.
