What is Bastille
Bastille is a wireless security platform focused on detecting and locating unauthorized or risky devices and activity across radio-frequency (RF) environments. It is used by security and IT teams to monitor Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular/IoT, and other RF signals to identify rogue access points, hidden devices, and policy violations. The product emphasizes RF-based visibility and geolocation to support investigations and physical security response. Typical deployments include enterprise campuses, critical infrastructure sites, and high-security facilities where unmanaged wireless devices create risk.
RF-based device discovery
Bastille focuses on detecting devices and activity by analyzing RF emissions rather than relying only on network traffic or endpoint agents. This approach can surface devices that are unmanaged, misconfigured, or not yet connected to the corporate network. It is useful in environments where traditional network-based discovery has blind spots. It also supports monitoring across multiple wireless technologies commonly used by IoT and consumer devices.
Geolocation for incident response
The platform is designed to locate the physical position of emitting devices, which helps teams move from detection to on-site remediation. Location context can reduce time spent searching for rogue access points, hotspots, or prohibited devices. This is particularly relevant for large facilities and multi-floor buildings. It supports workflows that involve security operations and physical security staff.
Wireless threat use cases
Bastille aligns well with wireless-specific risks such as rogue APs, unauthorized hotspots, and covert wireless devices. It provides a security control layer for RF environments that are not fully addressed by standard system security tools. This can complement broader IoT/OT visibility programs by adding RF telemetry. It is most applicable where wireless is a primary attack surface or compliance concern.
Not a full IoT platform
Bastille is primarily a wireless/RF security solution rather than an end-to-end IoT device management or connectivity platform. Organizations may still need separate tools for provisioning, firmware management, and lifecycle operations. It also does not replace network segmentation, NAC, or endpoint controls. Buyers typically evaluate it as a complementary control within a broader security stack.
Infrastructure and tuning required
RF monitoring and geolocation commonly require dedicated sensors and careful placement to achieve consistent coverage and accuracy. Performance can vary with building materials, interference, and site layout, which can increase deployment planning effort. Ongoing tuning may be needed to reduce noise and maintain reliable alerting. This can add operational overhead compared with purely software-based approaches.
Limited visibility off-RF paths
Threats that do not manifest as RF emissions (for example, purely wired network activity or host-based compromise) are outside the product’s primary detection method. Security teams may need additional telemetry sources to investigate lateral movement, malware, or protocol-level attacks on wired segments. As a result, it may not satisfy requirements for comprehensive system security monitoring on its own. Fit depends on whether wireless is the dominant risk area.
