Geofencing
Geofencing is a cybersecurity tool that uses GPS, Wi-Fi,
RFID, or cellular data to create a virtual boundary around a physical location.
It can track a device's location and trigger actions when it enters
or exits the geofenced area. Geofencing (virtual boundary) can be used for a variety of purposes,
including:
Security
Geofencing can be integrated with an organization's
security infrastructure to enhance security protocols. It monitors sensitive zones, enforces compliance policies, or tracks (GPS tracking) stolen
devices.
Device management
Geofencing (location-based services) can alert a dispatcher when a truck
driver deviates from their route.
When mobile devices enter company property, their cameras and microphones will be disabled. This will prevent the device from taking pictures of proprietary data or equipment and recording conversations.
Audience engagement
Event organizers can use geofencing to engage with
the audience before or during an event.
Smart home control
Geofencing can turn on lights, open the garage
door, or turn on the kettle when a user approaches home.
