IoT Security: What to Know About Preventing Electronic Eavesdropping

When you think about IoT security, firewalls, anti-virus software and other cybersecurity tools will likely come to mind. But there’s another threat brewing – and not enough businesses and entities are doing enough about it. In this post, we’ll tell you more about why you need to take electronic eavesdropping seriously, discuss how various protective solutions have evolved and are continuing to evolve, and share some of the current solutions that are offered by Signals Defense today.

Read on to learn more about how to tackle IoT security with RF shielding:

Why You Need to Consider RF Window Film

Many businesses are more at risk today than they’ve been at any other period in history – and we’re not just talking about conventional physical theft or cyber theft. Today’s thieves are infiltrating systems by way of IR and RF signals that emanate beyond a building’s four walls. They’re tapping into the frequencies that are emitted by the likes of computers, telephones, microphones, internet routers, recorders, and other office appliances.

And the consequences can be devastating. Digital data privacy can infiltrate systems to attain sensitive data from healthcare centers, intellectual property from manufacturing companies, and credit card information from restaurants and other retail entities.

That’s a big part of the reason why you need to consider implementing the right solutions to safeguard your business – and your sensitive data from digital piracy. RF window film represents a comprehensive solution for improving IoT security and helping to protect your sensitive data – and these solutions continue to advance over time to become stronger and better.

Every business or entity can benefit from RF window film solutions. From government offices that need to work in secrecy to healthcare institutions that need to keep patient data safe and secure, to colleges and universities and manufacturing facilities, it’s important to safeguard your institution with the right solutions. Containing signals in a confined space with the right window films can help achieve this.

The Future of Shielding

The global electromagnetic shielding industry is advancing at a rapid pace, expected to be worth nearly $10 billion by the year 2028. Another benefit of RF and IR window films is that they do more than just prevent signals from emanating beyond your property, they also prevent outside signals from interfering with your other devices such as mobile phones and in-building wireless systems.

Some of the trends that are poised to shape the future of shielding include more advanced materials, multiple layers of shielding, tailor-made applications and more advanced systems integration.

Signals Defense’s Solutions

Signals Defense has developed several shielding solutions, and the company continues to push boundaries and move the industry forward. These films apply easily and can also be removed easily. Some of the most popular solutions offered at Signals Defense today include:

* SD2500/SD2510: These window films exceed U.S. intelligence community standards for electronic eavesdropping. The SD2500 is a 2-mil-thick attenuating film, while the SD2510 is 10 mil thick and rated for blast protection and offers security for both electronic and physical protection for glass fragmentation and spall control. These films are ideally applied to first-floor windows for at-risk businesses and entities.

* SD1000/SD1010: These films provide protection for IR and RF attenuation. The SD1000 is 2 mil thick and the SD1010 is 10 mil thick and rated for blast protection and offers security for both electronic and physical protection for glass fragmentation and spall control.
