Access the Bastille podcast to hear Scott Stapp, a retired Air Force general and former CTO at Northrop Grumman, discuss airspace security challenges and the need for proactive RF monitoring tools. Discover the importance of implementing device policies, operational security (OPSEC) education and practical solutions like Faraday bags and RF detection systems to defend against wireless threats.
