Listen in as your host Just Nate speaks to the Founder/Owner of Aronetics, Mr. John Aron! IN AN AGE of increasing digital interdependence threatened by nonstop nightly news of breaches and hacks, getting a handle on digital security matters more than ever. However, it seems that almost everyone has their own threat model — and their set of concerns unique to themselves.  The threat is omnipresent eerily similar to relativity, everywhere around you. We now live with software bugs that present loopholes that are exploited by an increasing volume, and sophisticated actors operating at the tactical edge. This takes an even higher level of sophistication to properly design and deploy integrated defensive deterrence and counter-offensive methods.  Essentially, we are all drowning in data network-flow analysis. One of the few remaining things to do at the tactical edge in a scenario is to look for deep packet analysis patterns while sipping that latte to stay alert.

Listen in as your host Just Nate chats with a great new friend, Rod Goossen The core of the RoGO solution is our proprietary DropBlock technology. With DropBlock you can: GPS track human and non-human First Responder assets working in remote, cellular-denied areas from the RoGO web portal. Now, Incident Command can know where First Responders are and who is in possible danger. This feature of marking & tracking wildfire resources satisfies the requirements of the John Dingell Act, or DART (Dingell Act Resource Tracking), for broadcasting GPS locations of Firefighters and Fire Equipment working a wildfire Incident. Wind speed/wind direction and other IoT sensor data can be transmitted back to Incident Command from remote areas that do not have cellular coverage by DropBlock for greater scene situational awareness.  This is possible through the DropBlock’s affordable satellite connection.  The DropBlock is a small, lightweight portable ruggedized device that is powered off AA batteries, available from any radio cache. DropBlocks can also be powered by USB or used off-grid indefinitely with our solar panel & battery back-up solution. RoGO’s capability to run ATAK with a full IP connection means that Border Patrol team can coordinate and align their tactical efforts even in remote areas and over long distances. Search & Rescue teams can save precious time by utilizing full IP versions of SARTopo/CalTopo with robust data connectivity in isolated areas. Quick fingerprint verification with RoGO data technology means that immigrants in Border Patrol custody with outstanding warrants can be identified and appropriate action taken. Lightweight, rugged and compact, RoGO satcom devices can run ATAK platforms from the hood of an ATV.  To learn more about RoGO Communications, check them out here: https://rogocom.com/https://rogocom.com/ To find out more about the Smalls or become a member, please check us out at www.thesmalls.org To contact Just Nate:  [email protected]  — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thesmalls/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thesmalls/support www.patreon.com/thesmalls --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesmalls/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesmalls/support
