As more and more companies and governments at every level focus on security, they discover that technology has made it very easy to bypass existing security measures. Cell Hound™ turns the tables on criminals and would-be criminals by using the same technology against them.
Sensors scan the frequencies used by cell phones as well as many other wireless products. Detecting — and more importantly, locating — these products helps companies and government agencies protect their assets and prevent unauthorized communication in their facilities.
Listed below are some situations where Cell Hound™ can help your organization:
- A warden at a prison believes that inmates are somehow getting access to cell phones and other unauthorized wireless contraband. The system will pinpoint the devices when they're used, allowing security guards to confiscate the devices before the inmates can hide or dispose of them.
- A software company believes that someone within the company is sending screenshots and proprietary code to a competitor. The V.P. of Security believes that someone is using the camera on a cell phone to capture images — against company policy — and is emailing the images and code snippets to a third party. The system will detect when the employee sends the email via the cell phone and will display the location of that cell phone so that security personnel can find and interview the employee.
- A federal agency has a strict policy against cell phone use in restricted areas, but instead of searching the employees and contractors before they enter the area, the agency relies on the employees and contractors to follow the policy. Management and/or the security division can periodically review reports generated by the system to determine if the policy is not being followed. The reports will not only indicate how many times cell phones were used, but will also provide dates and times of the usage, which security personnel may be able to match against their entry and exit logs to determine the offenders.
