Agenda

• Same Threat – New Avenue

• The Difficulty in Drone Detection

• 1. Threat Variance

• Focus: Cyber Security

• 2. Lack of Standardization

• 3. Every site in vulnerable

Physical & IT Security Strategies Have a Gaping Hole

• Every enterprise and every individual protected by a traditional fence now

requires an aerial equivalent.

2017 & Beyond: Explosive Drone Industry Growth

• Millions of drones already in the air

• Growing at over 30% year-over-year

• FAA forecasts 7 million drones by 2020

Working on a secured floor in a 30-story office tower used to put your confidential

documents out of reach of Wi-Fi hackers. Not any more. Closing the physical gap with

a drone dramatically simplifies an attack or scan of vulnerable devices.

Threat Analysis

Lower Airspace Security Strategy

Minimum investment to

evaluate threat in specific

environment

Detect, Classify, real-time location of

drone and base station

Based off situational awareness implement

SOPs, take automated steps to protect assets

Create redundancy in detection and drone

localization, detect non-conventional drones

Fully understand threat to select the appropriate

active mitigation technology
