Practical Internet of Things Security - Second Edition

RF monitoring

The IoT brings new monitoring challenges. For example, organizations should monitor not only the networks for indicators of compromise but the airwaves to identify potentially rogue devices entering their locations, and to capture potentially malicious activity that is not caught by traditional network monitoring tools. There are vendor products such as those from Pwnie Express and Bastille that provide these capabilities.

Bastille offers a technology based on Software-Defined Radio (SDR) functionality that bills itself as security for the Internet of Radios. The product supports detection of IoT devices operating anywhere between 60 MHz and 6 GHz.
