How is Bastille Deployed?

Balint Seeber, Director of Vulnerability Research at Bastille, explains a typical Bastille deployment: sensors are placed around an office floor plan for best RF coverage, receive communications across many protocols, and send data to cloud analytics that localizes every device on the map so teams can see where devices are and their pattern of life.

Key Takeaways

• Sensors are positioned around the floor plan to give the best coverage of the RF environment
• Each sensor receives communications across a variety of wireless protocols
• Captured data is sent to cloud analytics for analysis and device localization
• Devices are placed on the map so teams can see their location and pattern of life across the organization

Hello. My name is Balint Seeber, and I'm the director of Vulnerability Research at Bastille. I'd like to show you how you might go about doing a typical deployment of the Bastille solution in this office floor plan. Here, imagine this is the top down view, and we're going to place sensors so that you can actually have better situational awareness of what's going on in your RF environment. This would be the equivalent floor plan as it is uploaded into our user interface.

Here, we will be able to illustrate when we detect activity and place it and localize that onto the map. So sensors are usually placed around the layout in positions to give you the best coverage of your-- in this case-- office. So you can imagine that any single sensor will be able to see a certain amount of the floor. And arriving at a good coverage of sensors will give you the best visibility into your floor plan. These sensors will receive RF communications on a variety of different protocols.

You may imagine that, in a corporate office environment, you will have a number of legitimate access points installed as well, where employees with their own laptops will then connect to the corporate Wi-Fi through these access points. There may be other devices in there as well. And then when any of these devices ends up communicating with infrastructure, our sensors will also pick up the same communications as they're sent back and forth. And all this data is then sent up into our cloud analytics infrastructure where it's analyzed.

And then these very devices are localized and then placed on the map so that you can gain a better idea of where they are and their pattern of life within your organization. [MUSIC PLAYING] PLAYING]
