How Kingfisher Works: From the Field to Your Screen
Finding radio signals is easy. The spectrum is full of them.
The hard part is knowing which cellular infrastructure belongs, which doesn't, where the suspicious activity is and how to show it to the people who have to act.
Kingfisher handles the field detection, while Kingfisher Watch turns that data into something your team can use.
Three Steps, One System With Two Parts
Kingfisher detects. Kingfisher Watch shows.
1. Kingfisher Detects
Kingfisher units in the field watch the cellular environment around them. Each unit profiles cellular towers and their configurations across 2G–5G in under two minutes and flags infrastructure and behavior that don't fit. See Profiling and Validation.
2. Findings Go to Kingfisher Watch
Each unit shares what it sees with neighboring Kingfisher units and sends data to Kingfisher Watch on your own systems. The units themselves store no data. See Kingfisher Network.
3. Kingfisher Watch Shows the Threat
Kingfisher Watch shows your team the protected area as it is right now. The live map shows where activity is occurring, heatmaps help reveal patterns, and the SOC dashboard keeps each event organized for your security team. Dispatch is part of the same platform.
Detect → Profile → See → Decide → Respond
Kingfisher does the field work. Kingfisher Watch does the command work. Your team makes the call.
Who Holds the Data
In the end, the data lives on your own systems. The units in the field do not keep it.
Kingfisher monitors cellular infrastructure, not individual phones. Kingfisher stores no bystander phone data, Kingfisher's own software identifies suspicious cellular infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Kingfisher units in the field detect and profile cellular infrastructure and send data to Kingfisher Watch. Kingfisher Watch shows your team the threat on live maps, heatmaps and a security operations center (SOC) dashboard, on your own systems. Kingfisher detects. Kingfisher Watch shows.
The finding goes to Kingfisher Watch. Your team sees it on the live map and SOC dashboard, decides what it means and, if it needs a response, dispatch is part of the same platform.
All collected data stays with you, on systems you own and control.
