Protecting Your Company's Assets: Why SCRT New Zealand Recommends Faraday Bags for Businesses
In today's business landscape, data is a company's most valuable asset. While firewalls, antivirus software, and VPNs are essential for digital security, they do not provide a complete solution. Once a company device—whether it's a phone, laptop, or tablet—leaves the office, it becomes vulnerable to various threats that software alone cannot defend against.
At SCRT New Zealand, we advocate for a multi-layered approach to security. This is where Faraday bags come into play. Often viewed as niche products for privacy enthusiasts, these signal-blocking enclosures are actually crucial tools for corporate security in the modern world full of seemingly daily data breaches. Our Faraday solutions offer a vital physical layer of unbeatable protection that complements your existing digital security measures.
The Gaps in Your Digital Security
The landscape of hacking and corporate espionage is rapidly changing, presenting significant risks to organisations throughout the world. A device can be compromised without the user ever having to click on anything or even know that its happened. Skilled remote hackers can take advantage of vulnerabilities, gaining access to devices that are simply resting in an employee's bag. While you are connected to your place of work's Wifi, you may be protected, but how about when you or your employees are connecting to the public WiFi at the gym, McDonald's, airports, or shopping centres? Furthermore, GPS tracking can expose sensitive travel patterns, while wireless data skimming puts crucial credentials from access cards and key fobs at serious risk.
The threat doesn't end when an employee departs work; even during the offboarding process, a device may be compromised before it is physically returned to the company. This creates an urgent need for extra vigilance, as such breaches can lead to devastating data leaks and violations of sensitive information. Companies must be proactive to safeguard their data and protect against these shadowy threats lurking at every corner.
Have you heard about the recent horror stories around the world? Companies are being held ransom with their entire operating system and private information completely gone until demands are met. Companies that have been alive and growing for decades are coming to an end literally overnight.
The SCRT Solution: The Power of Physical Security
Faraday bags work by creating a complete electromagnetic shield, effectively taking a device "off-grid." When a device is placed inside, it is instantly cut off from all wireless signals, including cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. This simple action provides a powerful defence against a variety of threats:
-
Prevents Remote Hacking & Data Leaks: A device inside a Faraday bag cannot be remotely accessed, ensuring that sensitive company data remains secure and inaccessible.
-
Stops Location Tracking: Whether it's a field technician's tablet or a CEO's phone, Faraday bags prevent unauthorised tracking, protecting sensitive movements and meeting locations.
-
Secures Credentials: Many modern key cards, key fobs, and corporate IDs use RFID technology. A Faraday pouch prevents "skimming" attacks where thieves use portable scanners to steal your information without you even knowing.
-
Reinforces Security Culture: Issuing Faraday bags to employees with their company devices reinforces a strong, company-wide commitment to security, showing that you prioritise the protection of company and client data.
The financial cost of a data breach can be devastating, far outweighing the minimal investment in a Faraday bag. By providing this simple tool for your device or that of your employees, you are not only protecting your company's assets but also complying with data protection regulations and giving your team peace of mind.
