CarahCast: Podcasts on Technology in the Public Sector

Bastille Wireless Threat Detection Podcast Series, Smartwatches

In this inaugural episode of the Wireless Threat Detection series, Adrian Sanabria and John Bundy examine the security implications of smartwatches, highlighting how Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, NFC and built‑in sensors expand the attack surface for both consumers and enterprises. They walk through real‑world scenarios such as Wi‑Fi deauthentication attacks, data leakage via cloud‑based fitness apps like Strava, and the risk of covert cameras, microphones, and Bluetooth exfiltration in restricted environments. The hosts also discuss vendor trust, the impact of counterfeit devices, and practical steps for updating security policies and risk‑tolerance models to mitigate smartwatch‑related threats.
