The funding continues the ongoing partnership that began in January 2017, in which Bastille helps to secure government organizations through its patented software-defined radio and machine-learning technology that senses, identifies and localizes threats from RF devices.

"Government agencies are under constant threat of a cyberattack due to the sensitive nature of the data they possess as well as their access to infrastructure that affects millions of people," said Chris Risley, CEO at Bastille Networks.

"As a portfolio company of SVIP, Bastille demonstrated their system's ability to use software defined radios and machine learning technology to passively monitor the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless device emissions. This enables real-time detection of wireless devices and supports protective operations and law enforcement missions by keeping out uninvited wireless devices, such as cell phones."

"Bastille has developed a technology that fills high priority capability gaps as identified by DHS operational users," said Ron McNeal, SVIP Transition Director.

"While Bastille Networks is selling their permanent system developed under SVIP to other government agencies," said SVIP Managing Director Melissa Oh, "Their ability to understand DHS' evolving needs and quickly develop a mobile capability will enable transition of this much needed technology to DHS in the future."
