New security tool from Bastille Networks can help security teams enforce no cell-phone zones.
A new wireless detection platform from Bastille Networks allows companies to locate security threats from managed as well as rogue wireless, IoT, and cellular devices.
Smart TVs, security cameras, printers and peripherals, medical devices, building controls and smartphones could all be used to steal data via radio frequency communication.
The system uses software defined radios to passively observe the entire radio space in a building from 60 MHz to 6GHz. Security firm Check Point Research recently found a security vulnerability in the firmware of the Philips Hue smart light bulbs.
In October 2019, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate awarded $199,680 to Bastille to provide an Internet of Things security solution to track threats on connected devices in real-time.
