Bastille

Bastille is a wireless security and situational awareness provider that uses radio frequency (RF) sensing to help enterprises monitor and manage their RF environments.

• Enterprise RF monitoring and security platform for detecting, locating, and classifying wireless devices across large facilities.
• Support for multiple wireless protocols and bands, including Wi‑Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, BLE, and other IoT-related radio signals (network security).
• Use of distributed RF sensors and software analytics to build a real-time RF “map” of corporate airspace for asset visibility and policy enforcement (observability).
• Applications for insider threat detection, policy compliance, and security zoning in environments such as offices, data centers, and industrial or government facilities (physical security).
• Integration of RF intelligence with enterprise Security Operations (SecOps) workflows, including alerts, dashboards, and event data for SOC teams (security operations).

More About Bastille

Bastille focuses on enterprise wireless security through radio frequency (RF) sensing, providing organizations with visibility into the RF signals present in their environments. Its platform combines distributed RF sensors with centralized analytics software to detect, locate, and classify devices that emit RF signals, including Wi‑Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and various Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational technology (OT) protocols (network security, observability). This approach is intended to address blind spots in traditional network and endpoint monitoring, which often have limited coverage of unmanaged, rogue, or radio-only devices.

In enterprise and institutional environments, Bastille is typically deployed across facilities such as corporate offices, data centers, critical infrastructure sites, manufacturing plants, and government or defense-related locations (physical security). Sensors are installed throughout a building or campus to capture RF emissions in multiple frequency bands. The captured RF data is then processed and correlated by Bastille’s analytics platform, which produces a real-time visualization or “map” of wireless activity in the monitored airspace. Security teams can use this map to identify where devices are physically located, whether they are authorized, and how they move within or near restricted zones.

The company’s platform relies on RF signal processing, direction finding, and localization techniques, as well as protocol-aware analysis to distinguish among device types and communication patterns (security analytics). It leverages standard enterprise architectures that separate sensing, data transport, and centralized processing, often integrating with existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, SecOps centers (SOCs), and access control or building management systems (security operations). These integrations allow RF-related alerts, such as detection of unauthorized mobile phones or unknown IoT devices, to enter existing incident response workflows.

Compared with traditional network security tools that focus on IP traffic and wired or Wi‑Fi infrastructure, Bastille operates at the RF layer, observing devices that may never join the corporate network but still pose policy or data exfiltration risk. This places the company’s offering within categories such as RF monitoring, wireless intrusion detection, IoT device visibility, and physical security augmentation. Enterprises may use Bastille to enforce no-device policies in secure areas, monitor for unauthorized hotspots or cellular devices, and track wireless assets within a facility.

Within a technology directory or marketplace, Bastille can be categorized under wireless security, RF monitoring, IoT and OT security, physical security and situational awareness, and SecOps integrations. Its core value proposition centers on providing RF-domain telemetry and analytics that complement existing cybersecurity and physical security controls, enabling organizations to treat the RF spectrum as an observable and manageable part of their overall security posture.
