Protecting your fleet: Faraday solutions for vehicle and key fob security.

The Myth of Keyless Security

Let’s be direct: Convenience is a trade-off for security. The keyless entry system in your vehicle, the very thing designed to make your life easier, is also its most exploited vulnerability.

You think your car is locked and secure when you walk away. The truth is, your key fob is constantly emitting a signal, a digital handshake waiting for your vehicle's response. Criminals have leveraged this constant communication into a simple, non-violent form of theft called a "relay attack" or "key fob boosting."

The risk is not a sophisticated software hack; it’s a failure of physics. It's a matter of two small, inexpensive signal boosters being used to bridge the distance between your key and your car, granting theminstant, silent access to your vehicle.

  • The Relay Attack: The thief uses one device near your car and another near your home where the key is stored (even inside a house). The devices amplify the key fob’s low-power radio frequency (RF) signal, tricking the vehicle into thinking the key is present. The door unlocks, the engine starts, and your high-value asset is gone in seconds.

  • The Tracking Threat: Modern fleet management often relies on GPS, cellular, or OBD-II trackers. While essential for logistics, these devices broadcast a continuous signal that can be exploited for surveillance, providing real-time data on sensitive cargo or personnel movements.

In the world of vehicle security, the threat is physical, fast, and relies entirely on wireless signals.

The Definitive Solution: Signal Silence

You cannot defend against a signal you cannot control. That’s whySLNT gear doesn’t rely on software patches or complex encryption. We usephysics.

The only way to guarantee the signal is blocked is to contain it within a verifiable, impenetrable physical barrier: aFaraday cage.

SLNT Faraday Bags are constructed with multiple layers of proprietary, high-shielding materials that create an RF-proof chamber. When your key fob is sealed inside one of ourFaraday Key Fob Bags, its signal is immediately, demonstrably killed. No signal leaves the pouch; no signal can be boosted or relayed.

Zero signal equals zero theft risk from relay attacks.

This is a decisive, fact-based security protocol that requires no power, no updates, and offers no compromises. For a clear, in-depth look at how relay attacks work and how our Faraday bags defeat them, watch this short video:How to Stop Key Fob Signal Relay Attacks with a Faraday Bag.


Integrating Faraday into Fleet Security

Signal control should be a standard operating procedure (SOP), not an afterthought.

Key Fob Security

  • Home/Office Security: Keys are stored in a designated, sealedFaraday Key Fob Bag the moment they are taken out of the ignition. This ensures that the 24/7 temptation for relay thieves is eliminated at your most vulnerable locations (home, parking garage, office).

  • Vehicle Handover: Implement a policy that requires all keys, including spares, to be kept in aFaraday bag when not in use. This prevents unauthorized personnel from utilizing the fob signal for access.

Asset & Access Security

  • Securing Trackers: If sensitive vehicles are being stored or retired for a period, place the OBD-II or hardwired GPS trackers into a largerFaraday Bag to cease all signal transmission and prevent unwarranted surveillance.

  • Fuel & Access Cards: Company ID cards, fuel cards, and gate access fobs often contain RFID chips. Keeping these in anRFID-protected wallet or sleeve prevents contactless skimming and cloning, maintaining control over your financial and physical assets.

Maintain Control Over Your Assets

When your key fob is exposed, your vehicle is exposed. When your sensitive access cards are exposed, your financial and physical assets are exposed.

Security is about control, and in the digital age, that control starts with silence. Do not rely on luck, and do not trust software that can be exploited. Take the decisive step to remove the vulnerability altogether. Your fleet is a high-value asset, protect it with a physical solution that cannot be hacked.


Silence the Chaos

The roar of the digital world is a constant threat to your most valuable assets. Don’t wait for the inevitable theft or breach.

SLNT provides the proven tool to shut down the chaos at the source.

Slip the key in. Seal the bag. Silence the chaos.
