The UK government, businesses and public lose a total of £27 billion per annum tocybercrime with the largest share of this cost borne by businesses. Most of the attacks onbusiness emanate from inside threats, which have become increasingly difficult to trace orprevent, especially due to the proliferation of ‘smart’ Wifi enabled devices.To combat this threat, technology has been developed for the surveillance of Wi-Fi enableddevices. However the currently available state-of-the-art is highly limited both in its hardwareand software applications. The majority of available devices are for fixed use and cannot beadapted for mobile use, such as would be necessary for tracking. They thus cannot be used inmobile surveillance operations. Furthermore, the derived data is not stored centrally and socannot be shared and leveraged for ongoing or future analysis. Finally, there are no facilitiesto identify and track specific devices across locations thereby limiting application inintelligence or law enforcement application.There is thus a ready and growing market in the UK and globally for innovative surveillanceand security equipment for use by the defence, law enforcement, civilian and militaryapplications.MCM Solutions is developing an innovative solution for the effective surveillance of Wi-Fienabled devices that will provide users with the ability to harness software, hardware and datato identify, locate and track Wifi enabled devices. Our solution will for the first time, enableboth fixed and mobile surveillance with live data sharing capabilities enabling theidentification of a device and geolocation technology to trace a devices movements.The commercialisation of this system will deliver economic and social benefits as it helps toreduce cybercrime and also equips law enforcement agencies with a highly efficient tool toassist in various investigations.
