Why Telcos need to reinforce cybersecurity posture

In a digital world driven by critical infrastructure and sensitive data, all legacy network --2G, 3G, 4G- LTE – and even 5G are easily exploitable. Flaws in signalling protocols allow attackers to compromise subscriber privacy, intercept calls, track subscriber locations, carry out fraud, and cause a denial of service. Network providers therefore require a strong deterrent to the more advanced and sophisticated cyber threats. SecurityGen’s IDS platform empowers telecom operators to respond to threats as they occur. It offers end-to-end coverage - from security monitoring and up-to-the-minute anomalous-activity detection, to protecting signalling network perimeter across HTTP/2, Diameter, GTP-C and SS7 signalling protocols. Coupled with rich analytics and reporting capabilities, SecurityGen IDS keeps you ahead, prevents hacker attacks, and protects your core network while enhancing your goodwill among subscribers.

Which malicious network activities can Intrusion Detection System (IDS) detect?

Get ahead of potential cyberattacks by using SecurityGen’s IDS. It ensures identification of all forms of malicious activity, including:

•  Network Equipment Denial of Service.
•  Denial of 5G services.
•  Denial of service Subscriber/IoT/Industrial IoT.
•  Fake network function implementation.
•  Subscriber data interception: SMS, data, voice calls.
•  Fraud cases: grey routes, billing bypass, USSD manipulation, SIM card vulnerabilities, etc.
•  Network and Subscriber information disclosure.
•  Subscriber location tracking.
