In episode 198 of the Data Center Go-to-Market Podcast, Joshua Feinberg talks with Princeton Identity CEO and founder Bobby Varma about how physical security in data centers is evolving from doors and perimeters to cages and high-value AI racks
🧠🔐. You’ll hear how biometric “iris on the move” systems support compliance, auditability, and zero trust, plus how decision-making differs between enterprises and colocation providers
🏢🏭. Bobby explains what CISOs, VPs of security/facilities, and legal teams each care about, why buyer education now happens long before first contact, and how “land and expand” strategies turn initial wins into multi-year growth engines
📈. The conversation also covers hiring and upskilling technical sellers, focusing GTM motions on narrow verticals, and preparing for a future where physical and digital identity management converge across HR, IT, and security systems 🤝.
