Cisco Live 2025 brought together thousands of IT and security leaders in Las Vegas to explore the technologies shaping the future of enterprise infrastructure.
Bastille was proud to be part of this momentum, demonstrating how our wireless threat detection and response platform integrates with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) to deliver enhanced security outcomes for joint customers.
Closing Gaps in Wireless Threat Visibility
One of the dominant themes at Cisco Live was the growing concern around wireless-enabled attack surfaces. From IoT devices to cellular-connected endpoints, organizations are increasingly exposed to threats that evade traditional network and endpoint defenses.
Bastille’s 100% passive wireless monitoring capabilities resonated strongly with attendees. Our platform detects and locates wireless emissions, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, cellular, and IoT protocols, providing the situational awareness security teams need to identify and mitigate wireless threats in real time.
A prospective customer summed it up well after a lengthy discussion of Bastille’s capabilities:
“Wow, I didn’t know you could do that!”
Attendees who conversed with us echoed this common sentiment across the show floor, underscoring the growing recognition of Bastille’s unique capabilities.
Real-Time Response with Cisco ISE
At the heart of our presence was a deep integration with Cisco ISE. Bastille’s wireless detection platform connects directly with ISE to:
- Identify rogue or misconfigured wireless devices.
- Localize suspicious wireless activity within a facility.
- Automatically apply Cisco ISE policies to contain or restrict device access.
- Correlate Bastille detection events with identity-aware network policies.
This joint solution enables organizations to take immediate, policy-driven action against wireless threats, an essential capability for enterprises seeking to implement comprehensive zero-trust architectures.
Broad Interest from Critical Sectors
Throughout the event, Bastille met with representatives from key sectors, including utilities, manufacturing, and government agencies. There was significant interest in how our solution can help protect ICS, SCADA, and OT environments, where traditional security tools often lack visibility into wireless activity.
Utilities and manufacturers, in particular, expressed concern about unauthorized wireless emissions and cellular-connected assets inside operational environments. Bastille’s ability to detect and locate such devices without requiring endpoint agents or active scanning was viewed as a critical enabler for securing sensitive industrial networks.
We also had productive discussions with several strategic partners focused on joint opportunities in both the public and private sectors. These meetings reflected a shared understanding of the need to operationalize wireless threat intelligence within existing security architectures.
Strong Interest from Government Organizations
Government stakeholders were particularly interested in Bastille’s passive monitoring approach, which allows for non-intrusive detection of wireless threats in secure facilities. The ability to monitor classified and unclassified areas without introducing new emissions aligns with operational security (OPSEC) requirements.
They also valued Bastille’s localization capabilities, which help pinpoint the physical origin of wireless transmissions, supporting threat investigations, compliance monitoring, and incident response.
A Growing Ecosystem
The positive reception at Cisco Live confirms that Bastille’s integration with Cisco ISE addresses a real and growing market need. Joint customers benefit from:
- Unified visibility across wired, Wi-Fi, and other wireless protocols.
- Streamlined security operations via integrated workflows.
- Improved protection of both IT and OT environments.
As wireless threats continue to evolve, Bastille remains focused on helping customers strengthen their security posture through innovative, interoperable solutions.
