Bastille Announces Bastille Enterprise Cellular Intrusion Detection is Now Available To Help Corporations With Radio Frequency Threat RemediationBastille, the leader in enterprise threat detection through software-defined radio (SDR), today announced its new Bastille Enterprise Cellular Intrusion (News - Alert) Detection for enterprises. "Bastille has been doing radio frequency (RF) and Cellular Intrusion Detection and research for the Government for years" said Chris Risley, CEO at Bastille. "Only in 2020 did Bastille finally receive FCC (News - Alert) approval for its Civilian cellular sensor array. This allows Bastille for the first time to offer accurate Cellular Intrusion Detection to the Enterprise. Now corporations can have the RF security that the DoD and Intelligence Community rely on to protect the nation's secrets." Bastille provides corporations the ability to discover, locate, and mitigate radio borne threats to their assets, facilities and networks. These threats arise from managed, unmanaged and rogue wireless, IoT and Cellular devices. Bastille does this protection by using SDRs to passively observe the entire radio space in a facility from 60 MHz to 6GHz. More than 70 percent of devices connected to the network today are connected via RF & Cellular and that percentage is growing. Equally important are the radio-enabled and cellular devices in your facility which are NOT connected to your network; those which enter daily with employees and visitors, and those installed by contractors into your buildings. These devices are the ones which can be used to exfiltrate voice, video, and computer data right past your firewalls and into the unsecure world outside. Example: a laptop legitimately connected to your network right now could also be tethered to a cell phone via Bluetooth and that cellphone can be connected via a 40 Mbps 4G Cellular data connection to a server in China which is capturing your company secrets in real time. Covert, rogue and vulnerable wireless and cellular devices are inside the enterprise today. Suspicious equipment includes SmartTVs, security cameras, printers and peripherals, medical devices, building controls and of course, cell phones. Only Bastille can deliver:
The whole Bastille threat detection process takes just seconds from when the wireless/cellular devicefirst transmits until your security team receives an Alert in your existing alerting system. A lot more than Cellular Intrusion Detection. Though commonly thought of as Cellular Intrusion Detection, Bastille does a lot more than merely detecting the presence of cell phones. Customers can set up alerts based on wireless device behavior. Examples include:
Enterprise RF Vulnerabilities Increasing In the last month, two new large scale RF vulnerabilities were announced, namely SweynTooth and the Phillips Hue vulnerability Zigbee Worm. These vulnerabilities join BleedingBit, BlueBorne, MouseJack, and KeySniffer as examples of how immature security is for Radio Frequency protocols. The Ethernet and IP Protocols have undergone decades of battle-hardening. These protocols had lots of security vulnerabilities when they were young but researchers have discovered those vulnerabilities and most have been patched. Widespread IoT protocols. Bluetooth and BLE adoption are more recent and as a result, we're still discovering very large security holes in those protocols. "I have no doubt that more huge security holes will be discovered in the more than 100 new radio protocols used by IoT devices," said Bob Baxley, Chief Technology Officer at Bastille. "Bastille can tell you which devices in your facility--both on and off your network--are susceptible to RF attack. It is critical that CISOs understand their RF attack surface in order to maintain a secure perimeter." Bastille's Patented Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Technology Bastille now has 17 U.S. Patents issued and more pending. Bastille's software-defined sensor arrays scan from 60 MHz to 6 GHz. Within that range, Bastille has more than a dozen protocol decoders, including Cellular, Wifi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), ZigBee (News - Alert), DECT and others. Using software-defined radios we see all the emitters distinctly, and then by using protocol decoders in the arrays we digitally demodulate the protocols.
