Introducing the Kestrel Network Analyzer (KNA) Integration

The Kestrel TSCM Professional Software continues to evolve with on-going; experience-based new innovation; that is released with each next generation of the application.

This presentation introduces the powerful Kestrel Network Analyzer (KNA) technology framework, deployed as a standalone; or fully interoperable feature, that captures WIFI 2.4, WIFI 5, WIFI 6, WIFI 7, BT (Classic), and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) related ambient emissions and threat technology utilizing these protocols.

Learn how the KNA capability and advanced interoperability significantly advantages and enhances our unique operator centric approach and methodology.

Paul will provide a live demonstration of the integrated Kestrel Network Analyzer (KNA) technology, implemented as a standard TSCM mission resource, that fully compliments the technical security deployment strategy.

Effective Reporting of Technical and Physical Security Vulnerabilities

This presentation focuses on the effective identification, documentation, and reporting of technical and physical security vulnerabilities within Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) and physical security programs. Participants will explore best practices for assessing document control procedures, physical access controls, alarm systems, CCTV surveillance, and electronic sweep inspections to identify security weaknesses, evaluate potential risks, and recommend appropriate corrective actions. The presentation will also cover how to develop a clear, consistent, and actionable reporting format that includes inspection scope, findings, supporting evidence, risk ratings, recommended mitigation measures, responsible parties, and follow-up requirements. Emphasis will be placed on accuracy, confidentiality, document handling, and professional communication to ensure that security findings are properly recorded, prioritized, communicated to decision-makers, and tracked through resolution.

Beyond the Sweep: TSCM and the Threat and Risk Assessment

Security professionals identify and assess risks, but it is management that owns them.  That distinction is often misunderstood, and it has important implications for when, why and how TSCM services should be employed.

The Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) is the foundation of effective security.  It identifies what needs protecting, examines existing security measures, considers threats and vulnerabilities, and establishes the risks that management must ultimately accept, mitigate or otherwise address.  But how does this process lead to Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM)?  In this interactive session, we will find out by conducting a practical TRA of the very classroom we are occupying at the Banff Centre. Using Canada’s widely recognized Harmonized Threat and Risk Assessment Methodology (HTRAM), participants will work through the assessment process, challenge assumptions, debate findings and develop a risk statement for the room.  Along the way, we will explore where TSCM fits into the broader security picture and how a properly conducted TRA can help justify its application.  Expect some lively discussion, a few surprises and, despite the serious subject matter, a little fun.
