Invisible Threats. Visible Protection.

Bluetooth
Attack Surface
Bluetooth is now being used for mission-critical applications.
Any disruption or delay could impact a variety of daily functions.

What is the Bluetooth attack surface?

Bluetooth uses short-range radio waves to connect devices within the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. 

Bluetooth has had an exciting evolution from audio streaming to critical RF/Wireless applications due to enhancements in security and mesh capabilities.

To protect against Bluetooth's vulnerabilities, risks need to be eliminated through strong authentication, secure communication protocols, network segmentation, and continuous wireless threat monitoring.

Wireless Airspace Defense for Bluetooth

Bluetooth technology incorporates encryption, authentication, and authorization to prevent unauthorized access, yet vulnerabilities and attacks persist. Regular updates to encryption and protocols are crucial for mitigating these risks.

Bluejacking

Attackers send unsolicited files to Bluetooth-enabled devices for spamming or social engineering attacks

Spoofing

Attackers are able to impersonate legitimate Bluetooth devices to gain unauthorized access to devices in network

Bluetooth Attack Surface

BlueBorne Attacks

Set of vulnerabilities allowing attackers to execute man-in-the-middle type attacks on the data stream impacting multiple Bluetooth devices

Denial of Service (DOS) Attacks

Attackers can disrupt service operations by launching DoS attacks via Bluetooth
