A Day in the Life: Account for Every Device

A security operations center has an ordinary day. A propped door on the third floor is walked and cleared in two minutes. An unauthorized badge use is checked and cleared. A vehicle at the gate is checked and cleared. Follow one badge all the way in, through the lobby, the turnstile, and the corridor, and every step is on a camera, right up to the vault door, where the cameras stop and the record ends.

Run the same day again with Bastille Wireless Security and a second layer of activity appears: a phone in a SCIF, a smartwatch in a restricted corridor, earbuds in a conference room, a tracking tag with no owner, and a hotspot moving data out of a side office. None of it authorized, and all of it transmitting.

Security then handles each one the way it handles any other alert. The phone in the SCIF is interdicted, the watch goes out to a car, the tag and the hotspot are removed and referred, and an approved medical device stays where it is. Nothing about the day was unusual, and every alert got handled.

Key Takeaways

• Access control and cameras account for people and doors, but they stop at the spaces that matter most, like SCIFs and vaults
• Phones, wearables, tracking tags, and hotspots transmit inside restricted spaces without ever appearing on a camera
• Bastille detects and locates these devices by their RF emissions, so security teams can respond to them like any other alert
• Approved devices, such as medical devices, can be accounted for and allowed rather than removed

Today's security operations center. Access control. Doors. Cameras. Perimeter. A door propped on the 3rd Floor, walked and cleared in two minutes. An unauthorized badge use, checked and cleared. A vehicle at the gate, checked and cleared. Security is good. Follow one badge all the way in. The lobby, the turnstile, the corridor.

Every one of them on a camera, on the board. Then, the vault door, where the cameras stop and the record ends. Now run the same day again, with Bastille Wireless Security. A phone in a SCIF, a smartwatch in a restricted corridor, Earbuds in a conference room. A tracking tag identified with no owner.

A hotspot moving data out of a side office. None of it authorized and all of them transmitting. One approved medical device still transmitting. Security then does what they do best: phone interdicted in the SCIF, a conversation in a corridor, and a watch goes out to a car, a tag and a hotspot removed and referred, A quiet word and a transmission ends while the device stays where it is.

End of shift. Nothing about the day was unusual and every alert got handled. Bastille, protect the SCIF and the mission from wireless threats.
