This new software detects and evades commjacking on any wireless network, in real time, making any device resilient to the attack. It does that by sensing the attempted compromise and sending the at-risk signal to a safe node before it can be taken hostage.

“Until now, cyber criminals, industrial spies and crime syndicates could readily commjack the crown jewels of an enterprise. CoroNet is the first and only software solution available for the enterprise that stops commjacking in its tracks,” said Liwer. “Through the use of CoroNet's breakthrough technology, carriers and MSSPs can protect enterprise customers by successfully and immediately plugging this backdoor that cyber criminals are rushing to exploit.”

Three unnamed banks are considering CoroNet's solution, according to Liwer — two in the U.S. and one in Europe.

The first bank hopes to protect executives and employees from commjacking.

“You want to make sure your employees don't become a wireless backdoor organization, and you want to make sure their devices — laptops, tablets and smartphones — are protected,” Liwer said.

The second bank plans to use the software for perimeter detection. This bank has several small branches in developing countries in which small employee teams use wireless devices.

The third bank wants to protect its high-net-worth customers, Liwer said. It would monitor customers' online banking activity and make sure they're communicating over a secure channel.

“We're not here to replace any existing security mechanisms,” Liwer said. “We're here to plug a hole that no one else is plugging right now, so we would strongly recommend that people continue to use anti-phishing, antivirus, anti-malware and encryption tools.”
