On December 17, 2024, Brian Contos spoke with Brett Walkenhorst, Bastille Networks’s Chief Technology Officer, recording a quick Ask Me Anything video about the recent wireless attack that Veloxity disclosed.
The conversation explores the “Nearest Neighbor Attack,” an innovative wireless attack strategy highlighting how attackers bypass traditional proximity-based security assumptions. It delves into the attack’s mechanics and implications and discusses how Bastille Networks’ solutions address these challenges.
Volexity states, “The Nearest Neighbor Attack effectively amounts to a close access operation, but the risk of being physically identified or detained has been removed. This attack has all the benefits of being in close physical proximity to the target while allowing the operator to be thousands of miles away.”
The Nearest Neighbor Attack exemplifies the ingenuity and persistence of modern cyber adversaries. It underscores the need for comprehensive wireless security solutions like Bastille Networks, which provide visibility, detection, and actionable responses to mitigate these evolving threats. By integrating seamlessly with existing systems, Bastille addresses critical gaps in wireless security and helps organizations stay ahead of attackers.
