Window Zero
EXPOSURE GAPWindow Zero is the time the breach stayed in the open before anyone said so — the gap between when the attack was first discovered on the operator's leak site (t1) and when it was publicly disclosed (t2). The wider this window, the longer victims, staff and customers were exposed with no warning.
Attack Summary
Our name is an acronym for Sea Air and Land Communication and as the name implies we have designed and manufactured radio communication hardware for use in marine, aeronautical and terrestrial applications. At Salcom we know most things about getting a radio signal from A to B, whether it's 100 metres or 100 kilometres. Borne out of Tait Communications, the New Zealand communications iconic company, Salcom still has 3 of Tait's original engineers actively involved in technical roles and on the board of directors. After nearly 40 years of being in business and having exported products to most parts of the world Salcom has gained a lot of experience in just about every area of radio communication from emergency marine beacons to airport runway lights control and everything in between. Salcom has been entrusted many times to protect people's lives by providing reliable radio hardware and software for Fire, Ambulance, Hospital and Police services.
