802 SECURE, INC.: Developing advanced Technology for securing the internet of things (IoT), combining Software defined Radio with Big Data Analytics

802 Secure, Inc. was honored with a Gold Medal as the Silicon Valley Start-up of the Year in April 2015 by Info Security Magazine; and has signed resale agreements with AT&T’s Cyber Security Solutions business unit.

802 Secure is bringing to market a new and unique approach to detecting and preventing exploitation of advanced wireless threats using software-defined-radio with deceptive networking.

The problem: as more devices become internet-enabled, they can be used as a gateway to hack into a company’s IT network to steal data, or bring down systems. The IoT device can become an infection vector. To respond to the recent dramatic increase in advanced wireless threats and vulnerabilities, in particular those surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT), Garry Drummond founded 802 Secure, Inc. in July 2014 with leading industry experts.

To help enterprise customers reduce their risk of network security breaches, 802 Secure is developing solutions to help defend enterprise and government agencies from new attack vectors that cross the broader RF spectrum by offering a defense-in-depth approach through proactive wireless vulnerability assessment, target-aware deceptive networking and attack profiling with big data analytics.

The company’s technology was selected at DEFCON and Black Hat 2015 to provide visibility into wireless threat intelligence. 802 Secure has filed several provisional patents underpinning their technology including new innovation for P25, voice and data trunked communications. The company’s product P25CleanRF™, is a real-time wireless security system which protects mission-critical lines of communication for first responders to help save lives.

Legacy solutions only monitor the 802.11 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz frequencies for known signature-based attacks. These solutions fail to support proactive auditing, security validation and effective mitigation. 802 Secure’s solution provides a comprehensive view into the broader RF spectrum to detect, assess, and prevent risk from these new attack vectors. The 802 Secure solution provides intrusion detection, target-aware network deception, and proactive wireless vulnerability assessment in conjunction with big data analytics. Using 802 Secure’s cloud platform, security teams can prevent RF data leakage across the broader radio spectrum by identifying wireless IoT vulnerabilities prior to loss or incident.

802 Secure’s primary market focus is on North America, with immediate growth expected in Canada, the Pacific Rim, and Europe.

Offering Exclusivity through WRAT
802 Secure’s Wireless Risk Audit Tool (WRAT)™ is a low cost on premise hardware device that connects to 802 Secure’s cloud-based analytics. WRAT helps defend organizations across a broad spectrum of wireless attacks (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, NFC, and licensed band).Designed by industry leading wireless network architects who understand information security and have proven track records building and deploying large enterprise networks, the WRAT was developed to be the most advanced proactive defense-in-depth wireless IoT risk auditing and mitigation solution.
