Wireless Protection

Providing wireless security solutions for mission critical environments a multi-layered security architecture within a facility as well as perimeter protection requires a detailed look at the attack surface across both the physical and environmental landscape. Filling the wireless environmental component within the risk management framework is woefully lacking an automated, and reliable spectrum management security platform protection of wireless devices including UAS’s. Blind Tigers security platform provides the ability to detect, identify, locate and a 1 'click' denial of wireless devices providing foremost perimeter protection across areas of responsibilities.

Proven Success

Managed Access

In its simplest application, a conceptual communication umbrella is created around your vital area selectively allowing wireless devices that are vetted by your company access to the macro wireless network unimpeded while disabling unknown devices denying access to the wireless environment while under the Blind Tiger security umbrella. We act as the wireless gatekeeper to your facility.

This process is known as managed access.
  • Licensed (Cell Phone) and Unlicensed (WiFi) protection
  • Detect, Identify and Locate the devices (UAS/Phone)
  • Intelligently decipher between devices
  • Disable non-vetted devices
  • Vetted devices can operate unfettered

No Wireless Experience Required

The auto-configuration nature of the system removes the need of a cellular subject matter expert. Just apply power and you are protected from Phones, Drones, and even Rogue or "Fake" Cellular base stations. As part of the overall wireless cyber protection of the spectrum, WIDDS provides both Line of Sight (LOS) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Counter UAS capabilities that provide the detection, identification and defeat of vetted and non-vetted UAS’s. As the UAS market transition from LOS command and control of the UAS to cellular controlled UAS; we have that covered across all OCONUS and CONUS frequency bands and technologies - protecting your investment in spectrum security of sensitive areas.

Drone Defense

Blind Tiger monitors the global wireless environment, detecting and identifying various protocols that are present. This include Cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocols. Each of these well-known consumer communication protocols have command and control protocols embedded within enabling the remote control and aircraft to exchange information and operate. By monitoring the wireless communications, decoding the protocols extracting the identifiers Blind Tiger is uniquely positioned to allow the device to operate if known, otherwise initiate a kill sequence send the device back to its home, creating an umbrella around your facility.

Venues

Stadiums, Parks, Domes, Subways, Critical Infrastructure all are at risk from wireless devices. Wireless devices such as Phones and Drones are capable of transporting, detonating and triggering explosives. These events have already occurred in Venezuela with an attempted assassination the president, the Russians used a drone to set off weeks long explosions by crossing borders and dropping thermite on a Ukraine ammo depot, in U.S. and Global Prisons contraband such as knives, drugs and phones are dropped by drones. A $200 Drone in the vicinity of an airport can destroy millions of dollar's worth of airplanes and take human life.

Unfortunately for the security professionals, jamming the spectrum will do more harm than good, and wireless devices do not have tracers in which the public can see the transmission. Blind Tiger doesn't jam the spectrum to alleviate the wireless cyber security issues, jamming kills and its indiscriminate. Blind Tiger detects the devices and performs a cyber style attack against these wireless devices disabling or forcing them back to where they came from. We implement multiple "geo fences" at a staggered distance from the critical asset, providing early warning notifications, escalating notifications until the kill sequence is under way, securing your critical infrastructure and assets.

Corporate Security

SCIFs, R&D, Financials, Board Rooms, Hospitals.

Does your company have a 'No Electronics Beyond This Point' policy? How do they enforce the policy?

Blind Tigers' Board Room Assurance product enforces your corporate policies protecting against Cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless devices. Corporate espionage by U.S. adversaries is spiking, lurking around U.S Corporations providing unsuspecting guests, employees an unencrypted, open 'Hot Spot' masquerading as your corporate network. Your guests and employees mistakenly attach to the infected access point unknowingly downloading viruses, malware and trojans that are brought into your corporate environment.

You spend a lot of time, resources protecting and hardening your wired networks -- but do you know who your real estate next door neighbors are, and what type of wireless signals they are transmitting? How about the guy in the car across the street? Blind Tiger can detect, identify and disable the rogue, nefarious wireless servers that can and will launch a wireless cyber-attack against your assets.

Prison Systems

Blind Tiger got its start securing Georgias Urban, Max Security Facilities in which we demonstrated precise control of the wireless signal. When the Governor of Georgia gave the his approval, we took our System that was originally designed for Managed Access on the battle field protecting the war fighter into the commercial realm. As soon as we setup in the facilty we did several operations. #1 We did a monitoring operation to understand how many cellular devices where inside the facility, and found 47% of the inmates had cellular devices. #2, We did a complete shutdown of the facility, while allowing leadershp the ability to communicate. Suppression Image#3, In order to show that we can control behavior and modify the behavior within the facility we allowed AT&T cell phones to operate, while denying the rest. ATT Usage UpWhat we found was interesting. Inmates where selling their "non-operational" phones to the new inmates arriving attempting to get money back from the phones that now, somehow didnt work...And the AT&T phones, which once where seldom used due to the price point where now increasing in quantity because they where the ones that Blind Tiger allowed to work.
