Modern security teams monitor endpoints, networks, cloud infrastructure, identities, and applications. Yet many still lack continuous visibility into the wireless environment, where unauthorized devices, rogue access points, Bluetooth activity, LTE/5G connections, and IoT transmissions can create hidden risk.
Bastille ADAM helps close that gap.
Bastille ADAM, the Advanced Detection Analytics Module, turns wireless visibility into actionable security intelligence. Built on Bastille’s 100% passive RF monitoring, ADAM analyzes RF activity across enterprise environments to detect, characterize, prioritize, and alert on wireless threats in real time.
What Is Bastille ADAM?
ADAM functions as the analytics engine of the Bastille Enterprise Platform. It consumes wireless observations from Bastille Fusion Center and converts them into context-rich findings for security teams.
Instead of simply identifying that a device exists, ADAM analyzes:
- Device behavior
- Location patterns
- Protocol usage
- Policy violations
- Behavioral anomalies
- Risk context
ADAM supports continuous RF telemetry analytics for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, LTE/5G, and IoT protocols across Bastille’s monitored RF spectrum, from 100 MHz to 6 GHz, with Wi-Fi coverage to 7.125 GHz.
Why Wireless Threat Detection Matters
Traditional security controls focus on managed networks and endpoints. Firewalls, NAC, EDR, and SIEM tools provide critical protection, but they often lack direct visibility into unmanaged wireless devices and RF transmissions.
That creates operational blind spots.
A rogue access point may never touch the corporate network. A Bluetooth device may pair inside a restricted area. A malicious cable- or wireless-attack tool may appear briefly and then disappear. A device may use LTE/5G connectivity to bypass monitored infrastructure.
ADAM helps security teams move from raw wireless visibility to prioritized wireless risk management by evaluating activity based on:
- Context
- Behavior
- Location
- Severity
- Policy relevance
Core Capabilities
AI-Driven Behavioral Analytics
ADAM uses AI/ML algorithms, Bastille threat detection logic, and rolling baselines to identify abnormal behavior.
Examples include:
- Device spoofing
- Rogue network participation
- Unauthorized Bluetooth pairing
- Policy violations
- Unexpected channel hopping
- Devices appearing outside expected schedules or locations
Device Fingerprinting
ADAM builds device fingerprints using RF characteristics, vendor metadata, transmission behavior, and observed activity patterns.
This information helps analysts distinguish between expected devices, suspicious devices, and high-risk tools.
Policy-Based Threat Evaluation
Organizations can define custom Threat Policies based on:
- Location
- Device type
- Protocol
- Severity
- Time of day
- Operational context
Security teams can tune monitoring for:
- Restricted areas
- Executive spaces
- Data centers
- Labs
- Federal facilities
- No-device zones
Real-Time Findings and Risk Prioritization
ADAM enriches findings with:
- First-seen and last-seen timestamps
- Device classification
- Policy category
- Location context
- Behavior type
Security teams can stream findings into SIEM, SOAR, access control, and incident response workflows through APIs and webhooks.
Zone-Based Monitoring
ADAM supports custom monitoring zones for areas such as:
- Lobbies
- Elevators
- Labs
- Secure rooms
- Restricted spaces
Zone-specific policies help reduce false positives while surfacing relevant activity within defined boundaries.
Historical Forensics
ADAM supports forensic replay of RF activity, allowing analysts to investigate:
- When a device first appeared
- Where it moved
- What is it connected to
- Whether it entered restricted areas
- Whether it repeats suspicious behavior
Protocol and Detection Coverage
| Wireless Area | Example Detection Value |
| Wi-Fi | Rogue access points, hidden SSIDs, evil twin activity, weak encryption |
| Bluetooth/BLE | Pairing attempts, scanning behavior, and abnormal signal activity |
| LTE/5G | Unauthorized or policy-violating cellular connectivity |
| IoT | Unmanaged transmitters, anomalous RF behavior |
| Known attack tools | Indicators associated with Flipper Zero, OMG Cable, USB Ninja, and WiFi Pineapple |
How Security Teams Use ADAM
Detect Rogue Devices
ADAM helps identify unauthorized wireless devices, suspicious Bluetooth activity, unauthorized or policy-violating LTE/5G connectivity that can bypass monitored infrastructure, and indicators associated with known wireless attack tools.
Reduce Alert Fatigue
ADAM prioritizes findings based on severity, context, and policy relevance, enabling analysts to focus on high-value events.
Support SOC Operations
ADAM integrates with enterprise security workflows via APIs and webhooks, enabling teams to stream findings to SIEM, SOAR, access control, and incident response platforms.
Strengthen Compliance and Investigations
ADAM provides evidence-based findings, historical activity, policy-driven reporting, and forensic replay capabilities that support investigations and wireless security programs.
