Benefits of Using SDR for Cybersecurity

Benefits of Using Wireless Airspace Defense for Cybersecurity

Real-Time Threat Detection

SDRs enable real-time monitoring and analysis of wireless signals, providing the ability to detect and respond to threats  such as unauthorized transmissions, jamming, and signal spoofing as they occur.

Comprehensive RF Visibility

AirShield provides real-time visibility of all wireless/RF devices within an environment, regardless of their operating system, protocol, or connection type. This helps eliminate blind spots that can be exploited by attackers.

Safeguard Navigation Systems

Spoofing or jamming attacks can mislead vehicle, aircraft, and smartphone navigation systems, leading to accidents or intentional rerouting. GPS Canary ensures accurate GPS signals reach these systems, providing safe and reliable navigation.

Non-Intrusive Monitoring

AirShield uses passive monitoring techniques, ensuring that it does not interfere with the network while enforcing Zero Trust policies. This makes it easier to integrate into existing systems without disruption.

Comprehensive Spectrum Analysis:

SDRs can analyze a wide range of frequencies and protocols simultaneously, offering comprehensive visibility into the wireless spectrum and helping to identify anomalies and malicious activities.

Broad-Spectrum RF and Cellular Security

The AirShield platform can monitor a wide range of frequencies, from traditional WiFi to the latest 5G network and GPS signals, ensuring comprehensive security coverage across various communication protocols.

Protocol Agnostic

SDRs are not limited to specific communication protocols, making them ideal for environments with diverse wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, and IoT.

Automated Threat Detection

AirShield uses AI and machine learning to detect, assess, and prevent risks from unmanaged, unsecured, and misconfigured wireless devices, automating the identification and mitigation of potential threats.

Enhanced Situational Awareness

By continuously scanning and analyzing the wireless environment, SDRs provide detailed situational awareness, helping to identify potential security breaches and vulnerabilities.

Ease of Deployment

AirShield is designed for easy deployment without the need for Ethernet connections, utilizing integrated cellular backhaul for real-time access to cloud-based threat analytics.

Cost-Effective Solution

SDRs can replace multiple specialized hardware devices with a single, versatile platform, reducing costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and upgrading traditional radio equipment.

Real-Time Data Analytics

The AirShield platform offers real-time data analytics and reporting, helping organizations quickly identify and respond to unacceptable wireless vulnerabilities.

Scalability

SDRs can be scaled to cover large areas and high-density environments, making them suitable for protecting extensive wireless networks, such as those found in smart cities and industrial IoT applications.

Customizable Software-Defined Radio

Software-defined radios (SDR) capabilities allow for monitoring and detecting of new and advanced wireless threats, providing a customizable approach to wireless security.

Advanced Signal Intelligence (SIGINT)

SDRs can perform advanced signal intelligence operations, including signal classification, demodulation, and decoding, providing deeper insights into potential threats and malicious activities.

Mobile Threat Hunting Application

AirShield includes a mobile application for on-premise threat hunting, enabling users to locate and remove rogue wireless devices effectively.

Rapid Deployment

SDRs can be quickly deployed and configured to address specific security needs, allowing organizations to respond swiftly to new threats and vulnerabilities.

Integration with Security Systems

The AirShield platform integrates seamlessly with existing security systems such as SIEM, SOAR, and ITSM, providing a unified approach to threat detection and response.

Integration with Cybersecurity Tools

SDRs can be integrated with existing cybersecurity tools and frameworks, enhancing overall security operations and enabling more effective threat detection and response.

Zero Trust Security Framework

AirShield supports a Zero Trust security framework, which is crucial for managing the security of wireless devices and mitigating the risks of rogue actors and misconfigured devices.

Wireless Attack Surfaces

 

WiFi

Wi-Fi networks, crucial for modern connectivity, confront numerous security risks compromising data confidentiality, network integrity, and availability. Users face threats such as denial-of-service, de-authentication, "evil twin," and rogue access point attacks.

EMI

EMI encompasses all electromagnetic activity, posing security risks like data loss, disrupted transmissions, and system failures. All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation and are vulnerable to attacks, with different signal types posing unique security threats. 

GPS

GPS, vital for global navigation and oversight, is targeted due to the accessibility of software-defined radios. Attackers manipulate radio frequencies, disrupting accurate timing and location data, impacting critical infrastructure and emergency services relied upon by society and organizations.

CBRS

CBRS, operating in the 3.5 GHz to 3.7 GHz band, faces risks like IMSI catchers, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service, downgrade attacks, and protocol exploits. These vulnerabilities enable interception, communication alteration, device tracking, and service disruption, especially in IoT deployments shifting towards CBRS from traditional Wi-Fi networks.

Cellular

LTE and 5G are the backbone of modern communication. Despite their rapid connectivity and data transmission, they're vulnerable to security threats like Stingray attacks, intercepted communications, and DoS attacks when left unprotected.

IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) revolutionizes business with improved efficiency, maintenance monitoring, and communication. However, IoT devices face security vulnerabilities such as unauthorized access and password exploitation. Other risks include weak authentication, insecure communication, lack of updates, and physical vulnerabilities.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth, utilizing short-range radio waves in ISM bands, has evolved from audio streaming to crucial IoT applications with enhanced security. Despite encryption and authentication, vulnerabilities persist, including threats like Bluejacking, spoofing, and BlueBorne attacks.

Satellites

Satellite technology offers immense benefits yet faces significant threats in terms of cybersecurity. With increasing reliance on satellites for crucial services such as communication and navigation, addressing satellite security concerns becomes increasingly urgent to prevent potential cyberspace warfare and protect essential infrastructure.
