High-profile executives face an ever-growing spectrum of cyber and physical threats today. Wireless vulnerabilities, in particular, present an often-overlooked but significant risk to personal safety and corporate security. From rogue surveillance devices to wireless interception tools, unauthorized radio frequency (RF) threats can expose sensitive executive data, track personal movements, and compromise business operations. Security teams must see and understand their RF environment in real time to mitigate these risks. Bastille’s Wireless Airspace Defense solution protects executives from wireless threats. It…

Investigation reveals sophisticated surveillance technology targeted at U.S.-Ukraine missile training activities. Spy Ring’s Operation Against Stuttgart Army Air Field Highlights New Normal of Critical Wireless Security Vulnerabilities This week, prosecutors have secured convictions against members of a Russian-directed spy network that conducted surveillance operations across Europe, including a sophisticated operation targeting a U.S. military base in Stuttgart, Germany. Documents released by the Crown Prosecution Service reveal the Stuttgart base was under surveillance from late 2022 until February 2023, with intelligence…

U.S. energy‑sector forensic teams have begun disassembling Chinese‑manufactured solar inverters and grid‑scale batteries after discovering undocumented 4G/LTE modules and other wireless communication transceivers buried on the circuit boards, according to two people involved in the tear‑downs. The covert hardware, absent from published schematics, creates an out‑of‑band path that can tunnel straight through utility firewalls, potentially granting offshore operators the ability to reconfigure or even turn off power‑conversion equipment at will.  “There is clearly strategic value in seeding core infrastructure with…

In an era where digital threats proliferate across all forms of communication and networking, the scope of counterintelligence has expanded beyond traditional espionage to include complex cyber operations. Counterintelligence, as defined by various national security doctrines, involves actions aimed at detecting and neutralizing the efforts of adversaries to gain unauthorized access to critical information. Wireless vulnerabilities are among the most insidious in this context, posing significant risks to private and public sectors. Bastille Networks has emerged as a leader in…

Protecting secure facilities is more complex than ever in today’s threat landscape. Many organizations, particularly those in the defense and federal sectors, enforce strict policies prohibiting radio frequency (RF) devices within their walls. These prohibitions are not without reason. RF devices pose significant security risks, including data exfiltration, unauthorized access, and the revelation of critical operational tactics to adversaries. Monitoring the RF environment is essential to mitigate these risks. However, the question arises: How can organizations monitor for RF threats…

In today’s dynamic threat landscape, security leaders must maintain comprehensive visibility across an increasingly diverse array of wireless protocols. As organizations expand their connectivity, an integrated, intelligence-driven security approach becomes paramount, spanning Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and IoT protocols like Zigbee. Bastille Networks addresses this need with its Wireless Airspace Defense solution and the newly introduced Airspace Defense Analytics Module (ADAM), which detects known threats and leverages advanced analytics to uncover subtle, emerging anomalies. Bastille Networks Wireless…

Security researchers at Oligo Security have demonstrated a family of vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol that allow attackers to take control of targeted devices. Dubbed "AirBorne," these vulnerabilities affect not just Apple devices but also third-party products that incorporate the AirPlay SDK, creating a vast attack surface that spans billions of potential targets. Wormable Zero-Click Attacks Enable Lateral Movement Through Networks What makes several of these vulnerabilities particularly concerning is their "wormable" nature. Once attackers compromise a single device, the…

The Growing Threat of Wireless Attacks Modern cybersecurity strategies must account for threats that extend beyond networks and endpoints. Organizations adopting wireless technologies to enhance mobility create a new, often invisible, attack surface: the surrounding airspace. Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems (WIDS) have emerged to fill a critical gap in security postures. These systems help detect unauthorized wireless activity and support enforcing wireless security policies. In environments where mission assurance is vital, such as defense, intelligence, or critical infrastructure, WIDS is…

As wireless technologies become integral to modern organizations, they introduce significant vulnerabilities. Sensitive data can be inadvertently or intentionally transmitted through wireless devices, leading to breaches that compromise both security and regulatory compliance. Personal devices, IoT devices, and rogue wireless networks pose significant risks, often operating unnoticed. Bastille Networks delivers a comprehensive wireless threat detection solution that enables organizations to monitor, detect, and prevent unauthorized or accidental wireless transmissions of sensitive information. Bastille ensures that organizations can protect their data…
