A physical presence is far more difficult to conceal than a digital one, and furthermore the concealment of digital presences can be re-used across vast swaths of the world whereas physical presences require a great deal of man-power to duplicate. This is a key distinction that makes comparing physical security and digital security into a specious and pointless comparison. Also, the realm of digital security is quite different in that vast swaths of the world have effectively no digital security.
