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.
Garry Drummond, Founder and CEO of LOCH, explains Bluetooth, threats for organizations, and how to prevent Bluetooth security incidents

Protecting Against Bluetooth Attacks
To enhance Bluetooth security, implement strong authentication with unique passwords, utilize SSL and TLS for secure data transmission, and segregate RF/Wireless devices into distinct network zones.
Continuous monitoring platforms, such as LOCH's AirShield, play a critical role in detecting and mitigating evolving risks associated with Bluetooth communication.
