New session with Datatel and SecuredNet exposes the overlooked risk of physical intrusion that bypasses millions in cybersecurity investments.

(PRUnderground) September 17th, 2025

Datatel, a leader in secure IVR Payments technologie and PCI compliance services, today announced the release of a new executive webinar:

“When Cybersecurity Fails at the Front Door: The Hidden Risk Most Companies Ignore.”

The session features Datatel Co-CEO Barnard Crespi and Steve Porter, CEO of SecuredNet, a leading expert in cybersecurity and red team operations. Together, they discuss the overlooked threat of physical intrusion, how attackers bypass millions in cybersecurity investments with nothing more than a smile and a badge.

“We’ve seen boardrooms sign off on security plans that assume the building itself is secure. That assumption is not just flawed, it’s dangerous,” said Crespi. “This webinar challenges leaders to rethink what ‘secure’ really means.”

The conversation highlights real-world red team engagements, executive blind spots, and how physical security failures continue to undermine even the most mature cybersecurity programs.

Topics include:

• Why critical breaches often begin without a single line of malicious code

• How human behavior and office culture are exploited by attackers

• The difference between penetration testing and true stress testing

• What questions every CEO, CFO, and COO should be asking about physical access

• How to close the risk gap before regulators or bad actors expose it

“Cybersecurity isn’t just about servers and software anymore,” said Porter. “It’s about people, processes, and physical spaces—and most organizations are still treating that like someone else’s problem.”

The webinar is now available to watch on demand.
