Area: Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing
Requirement: Continuous wireless monitoring to protect intellectual property and prevent data exfiltration in restricted lab environments
A leading pharmaceutical research and manufacturing facility required an independent audit of its wireless infrastructure after concerns were raised about the presence of hidden networks and unauthorised devices.
Operating under strict zero-device and restricted-access policies, the client needed a non-intrusive yet comprehensiveway to identify vulnerabilities within its production and research zones – without disrupting daily operations.
Air Sheriff was deployed to provide full digital visibility across the entire facility, ensuring all wireless activity was legitimate, compliant, and secure.
Air Sheriff’s monitoring immediately revealed multiple unauthorised networks operating covertly within the facility – including one embedded within the LED lighting system that periodically changed SSID and concealed hidden microphones. In addition, nine tethering devices were discovered transferring sensitive data outside approved channels. These critical findings were invisible to standard IT sweeps, highlighting the importance of independent wireless monitoring.
Following the investigation, the networks were dismantled, unauthorised devices were isolated, and new control policies were implemented. Air Sheriff’s system was retained to deliver ongoing long-term assurance and continuous protection of high-value pharmaceutical IP.
Installed without disrupting operations or alerting staff.
Critical vulnerabilities identified within the first days of monitoring.
Delivered a true, unbiased picture of wireless activity.
Continued monitoring provides sustained visibility and protection.
Due to the confidential nature of Air Sheriff’s work within the pharmaceutical sector, client identities remain undisclosed. The feedback below reflects verified insight from the facility’s senior cybersecurity team.
We know security can feel complex, so we’ve answered some of the most common questions about how Air Sheriff works and what makes it different.
Air Sheriff identifies and monitors Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and IoT devices, detecting unusual behaviour or unauthorized networks.
No. Air Sheriff only monitors device behaviour and network activity. It never collects, stores, or inspects the actual data transmitted.
Very easy. Air Sheriff detectors only need power and mobile data. No integration with existing networks or infrastructure is required.
Air Sheriff provides independent, real-time monitoring of WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular, and IoT networks. Trusted in defence, aviation, government, and critical industries worldwide, our technology delivers unobtrusive cyber assurance, helping organisations detect hidden threats and secure their digital environment.
