TSCM Generational X-Ray Advancements

The use of x-ray imagers in a TSCM role is not new and can be complex; requiring extensive training and regulatory approval on country-by-country basis. This presentation introduces the concept, application and limitations of deploying x-ray imagers as yet another arguably essential resource in combating commercial and government, state-sponsored espionage activities; often through supply chain infiltration of assets destined for national security facilities. The ability to evaluate all assets placed within wireless security zones, classified meeting space, SCIF and SWA environments is an often over-looked, but essential TSCM best practice. Discover how x-ray imaging resources can add an additional step to the mitigation of a potential technical compromise.

Hybrid Intelligence

This presentation will explore the evolving landscape of targeted information gathering, blending digital and physical methodologies to enhance security operations. Designed for security professionals, the session delves into practical techniques for intelligence collection in high-stakes environments, emphasizing ethical and legal considerations. It will begin with an overview of hybrid approaches, illustrating how integrating digital tools with physical surveillance yields comprehensive insights while minimizing detection risks.

Key demonstrations include the Flipper Zero, a versatile multi-tool for wireless interactions such as RFID cloning and NFC emulation, showcasing its role in on-site data extraction. The talk will discuss LoRa IoT devices for low-power, long-range surveillance and data collection. It also covers leveraging dark web resources, including anonymized forums and marketplaces for threat actor assessments, without compromising operational security. Attendees will gain actionable insights into deployment, countermeasures, and best practices, empowering them to adapt these tools against emerging threats in cybersecurity and physical security domains.

Automatic Radio Analysis | Emissions Testing Platform (AURA 360 ETP)

A powerful new layered approach for national security facilities.

The TSCM role is always expanding! Our Automatic Radio Analysis (AURA) | 360 Degree | Emissions Testing Platform (ETP) offers a new opportunity and benefits of the deployment of a TSCM focused Total Energy Capture (TEC) methodology.

This methodology has given rise to powerful new innovation and processes that add additional layers of technical security competence; all designed to mitigate significant industry gaps that have unfortunately, existed for decades.

The Kestrel TSCM ® Professional Software includes many unique deployable layers of innovative deployment resources; well-beyond any other TSCM product currently available. The AURA 360 ETP protocol is designed to increase the probability of detection by the numbers significantly, as a powerful technical security proactive mitigation process.

Christophe will provide a live demonstration of the AURA 360 ETP platform capability. This is an important opportunity for TSCM practitioners to see and offer the benefits of the AURA 360 ETP technology, as a potentially new revenue stream for sensitive corporate and government entities as a fixed or portable resource.
