Corporate Airspace Security

# Corporate Drone Detection

Your perimeter no longer ends at the fence line — it extends into the airspace above your most valuable assets. AirGuard detects unauthorized drones over your campuses, studios, data centers, and executives, and locates the pilot in real time, so corporate security can act before a breach becomes a headline.

The Corporate Threat

## The Perimeter Now Includes the Sky

A modern drone costs a few hundred dollars, fits in a backpack, and can carry an HD camera, a Wi-Fi interception kit, or a small payload. From outside your fence — or hovering beside a 30th-floor window — it can **film sensitive operations, spoof a trusted network, capture credentials, or photograph confidential documents**, often without anyone realizing it was there. Most organizations have no way to know it happened.

### Espionage & IP Theft

Camera drones capture trade secrets, prototypes, unreleased content, and facility layouts for competitors or state actors.

### Cyber Intrusion

Drones carrying small computers can spoof Wi-Fi, intercept wireless traffic, and bridge air-gapped networks from just outside the building.

### Privacy & Safety

Drones surveil executives, record confidential meetings through windows, and map security routines — or carry a physical payload.

Tailored by Industry

## Corporate Drone Detection, Built for Your Sector

“Corporate” means very different airspace risks depending on what you protect. AirGuard is configured to the specific threat profile of your environment — from a film backlot to a hyperscale data center.

### Film & Entertainment Studios

Unreleased footage, set designs, and talent are high-value targets. A single leaked image from a backlot or location shoot can compromise a launch and cost millions. AirGuard keeps eyes on the airspace over sets, lots, and production facilities.

### Corporate Campuses & HQ Offices

Board meetings, product roadmaps, and R&D happen behind glass. Drones can film through windows at any floor and record confidential discussions. AirGuard secures the airspace around single-building offices and multi-campus headquarters alike.

### Data Centers & R&D Labs

Drones can hover to spoof Wi-Fi, intercept wireless traffic, or bridge air-gapped systems — turning the airspace into a cyber-attack vector. For facilities holding sensitive data and research, the sky is part of the attack surface.

### Warehouses, Logistics & Industrial

Sprawling distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs present miles of perimeter that ground security can't watch from above. AirGuard provides wide-area airspace coverage scaled to large corporate footprints.

### Executive Protection & VIP Privacy

C-suite executives and high-profile individuals are targets for surveillance, stalking, and worse — at the office, at events, and at private residences. AirGuard adds an aerial layer to executive protection details, detecting drones and locating operators so teams can respond before a threat closes in.

How AirGuard Works

## Answers Your Security Team Can Act On

Awareness is the first step in dealing with a drone threat. AirGuard answers the questions corporate security needs — in real time, from one interface.

1

#### How many drones are in your airspace?

Real-time detection and classification of every drone around your property, with make, model, speed, and altitude.

2

#### Where is the pilot located?

Pinpoint the operator's GPS and Wi-Fi position when available, so security can respond proactively and support enforcement.

3

#### Is it a threat — or a flyover?

AI-powered analysis and 24/7 human monitoring distinguish accidental flyovers from deliberate intrusions, eliminating false alarms.

4

#### Is it a repeat pattern?

Logs drone type, flight path, and intrusion attempts for forensic reporting and trend analysis over time.

The Threat Landscape

## Drone-Enabled Corporate Espionage Is Here

Security analysts now rank drone-assisted espionage among the fastest-growing threats to private companies — and most organizations have no aerial defense in place.

### A documented, growing threat

Security analysts warn that companies are highly vulnerable to drone-assisted espionage because countermeasures lag behind how quickly drones are being adopted to target intellectual property and assets.

### The perimeter is now the airspace

A drone hovering outside a building can spoof a trusted Wi-Fi network, capture login credentials, or film sensitive activity inside — bypassing physical security entirely before anyone knows it was there.

### Eyes through any window

When your office is on the 3rd or 30th floor, you rarely think about someone looking in. Drones put a camera at any height — recording meetings, screens, and anything valuable in plain sight.

 Being aware of a potential drone threat is the first step in dealing with someone using a drone for nefarious purposes. **AirGuard gives corporate security that awareness** — a real-time picture of every drone in your airspace and the operator's location, so you can protect your employees, customers, networks, and proprietary data.

Questions, Answered

## Corporate Drone Detection: FAQ

Common questions from corporate security leaders about detecting and responding to unauthorized drones.

Why do corporations need drone detection?+

Because the corporate perimeter now includes the airspace. A low-cost drone can carry an HD camera, a Wi-Fi interception kit, or a small payload, and use it to film sensitive operations, spoof a network and capture credentials, photograph confidential documents through a window, or surveil executives — often without anyone realizing it happened. Drone detection gives security teams awareness of what is in their airspace, which is the first step to responding to a threat. AirGuard provides real-time detection, pilot location, and forensic logging tailored to the facility.

What types of companies use AirGuard?+

AirGuard is deployed across a wide range of corporate environments, each with its own threat profile: film and entertainment studios protecting unreleased content, corporate campuses and HQ offices guarding board meetings and R&D, data centers and research labs defending against drone-borne cyber intrusion, warehouses and logistics hubs covering large perimeters, and executive protection details safeguarding VIP privacy. The platform is configured to the specific risks of each environment.

Can a drone really hack our network or steal data?+

Yes. A drone can carry a small computer to mimic a legitimate Wi-Fi network and trick employees into connecting, intercept wireless traffic, or even bridge an air-gapped system from just outside the building — turning the airspace into a cyber-attack vector that bypasses physical security entirely. This is a particular concern for data centers and R&D labs. Detecting the drone is what gives your team the chance to respond before data is compromised.

Can AirGuard locate the drone operator?+

When the information is available, yes. AirGuard pinpoints the GPS and Wi-Fi coordinates of both the drone and its operator, so corporate security can respond proactively, document the incident, and support any enforcement action. It also logs drone type, flight path, and repeat intrusion attempts, which helps teams recognize whether the same drone is targeting the facility over time.

Does it integrate with our existing corporate security systems?+

Yes. AirGuard's open architecture connects with CCTV, access control, and cybersecurity platforms, sharing both drone and pilot information with corporate security teams for instant threat response. Detection layers — Remote ID, RF detection, radar, and high-quality cameras — are expandable and tailored to facility size, from a single-building office to a multi-campus headquarters.

Is it legal to detect drones over our property?+

Detection — monitoring and identifying drones in your airspace — is legal for private companies. What is federally restricted is mitigation, such as jamming or disabling a drone, which is limited to certain authorized agencies. That is why AirGuard focuses on detection, tracking, pilot location, and documentation to support a lawful response, rather than interfering with the aircraft. Many states have also enacted drone-specific privacy and critical-facility laws that strengthen the case for documented detection.
