"Student Team Works With Lockheed Martin to Enhance Cellular Security Networks"
With support from Lockheed Martin, a team of student researchers at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Prescott Campus are developing a Cellular Intrusion Detection (CID) system aimed at detecting unwanted cellular devices in secure areas. Zachary Traynor, an Electrical Engineering senior, recently interned at Lockheed Martin, learning about multi-level security checks and clearances that protect confidential information and products. He also explored how malicious actors could bypass those security measures, such as leaving cell phones outside rooms to eavesdrop on private conversations or infecting networks with viruses. Traynor emphasized that preventing unauthorized cell phones from entering secure areas is critical to protecting sensitive data from espionage or data breaches. Implementing a CID system is essential for defense companies not only to protect against information leaks and cyber threats, but also to ensure compliance and the integrity of sensitive defense operations. This article continues to discuss the team's work to improve cellular security networks.
