RF Risks and How to See Unseen Threats

Right now billions of devices around the world are chattering invisibly over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and other protocols. On today's show we peer into this invisible world to better understand the RF threat environment. Guest Brett Walkenhorst talks about what we’re missing when we ignore RF security, how Software Defined Radio (SDR) can bring some visibility into the invisible, how to integrate RF monitoring into your security operations, the open-source and commercial tools available, and how a boast by radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi may have led to the first-ever wireless hack. | LISTEN NOW
