Shielded Signals (RF/TEMPEST) On-Demand Course

On-Demand Course Available Now!

Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705 accredited facilities and other high security spaces often require TEMPEST mitigations to protect radio frequency signals. In this course, we will be discussing TEMPEST, the phenomenon of compromising emanations, by examining the basics of radio waves, a brief history of TEMPEST, some of the government policies directing the control of these emanations, associated products for TEMPEST mitigations, as well as installation best practices developed by Adamo over the years. We will also be discussing an overview of Radio Frequency (RF), including shielding techniques and RF Testing, along with an exclusive demo video. Our intention with this course is that it introduces you to the foundational principles of TEMPEST. We want this to be an aid to you, and that we could be a conversation partner with you in the advancement of protecting our country's national secrets. All participants who successfully complete the course will earn a course certificate.
