The Complexity of 5G Requires a New Security Approach
5G networks enable high-speed data services, ultra-low latency applications, and large-scale IoT connectivity. However, the adoption of cloud-native architecture, virtualization, and Service-Based Architecture (SBA) drastically increases network complexity.
This evolution introduces new, sophisticated security challenges that traditional security approaches simply cannot fully address.
Our Solution
Our 5G Security Testing service helps telecom operators identify vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses, and potential security risks across their entire 5G infrastructure
We ensure that your critical components are fortified, keeping subscriber privacy, network availability, and service reliability properly protected.
Specialized Testing Across Key 5G Security Domains
We offer specialized, in-depth testing across the three most critical attack surfaces in modern mobile networks.
5G RAN Security
The RAN is the gateway to your network and highly susceptible to physical and over-the-air exploitation. We test for vulnerabilities in base stations (gNodeB), evaluate encryption and integrity protection of user data over the air interface, and protect against rogue base station threats and signaling manipulation.
5G Core Security
The shift to a cloud-native, API-driven Service-Based Architecture (SBA) creates new vectors for cyberattacks. Our testing dives deep into the 5G Core, identifying vulnerabilities in network slicing, containerized network functions (CNFs), and API exposures to prevent unauthorized access and data leakage.
5G Roaming Security
Cross-network interconnects are historically prime targets for threat actors. We thoroughly assess your Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) and roaming interfaces to ensure secure communication between network elements, preventing location tracking, fraud, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks from malicious peering partners.
OUR APPROACH
Industry-Aligned Security Methodology
Relying on deep telecom security expertise, our testing methodologies are strictly aligned with the latest industry standards to strengthen the overall security of your network and mobile services.
Standards-Based Defense
Fully aligned with 3GPP security specifications and GSMA security guidelines.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We rigorously evaluate authentication mechanisms, access control protocols, and secure communication channels between all network elements.
End-to-End Coverage
From the radio access network all the way to core network functions, leaving no stone unturned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does 5G security testing differ from legacy 4G/LTE penetration testing?
While 4G relied heavily on SS7 and Diameter protocols, 5G introduces cloud-native Service-Based Architectures (SBA) communicating via HTTP/2. This means 5G testing must account for API vulnerabilities, container security, and network slicing—vectors that didn't exist in traditional legacy network testing.
Will security testing disrupt our active network services?
No. We utilize safe, controlled testing methodologies. Depending on your preference and architecture, we can test in dedicated lab environments, staging areas, or use passive monitoring and carefully scoped exploratory testing in live environments to ensure zero disruption to subscriber availability.
How long does a standard 5G security assessment take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the assessment (e.g., full end-to-end network vs. just 5G Core). Typically, an initial exploratory assessment takes a few weeks, encompassing scoping, active testing, analysis, and comprehensive reporting.
Do you help with remediation after identifying vulnerabilities?
Yes. Our reports don't just list vulnerabilities; they provide concrete, actionable recommendations based on 3GPP and GSMA standards to help your engineering and security teams patch weaknesses and configure defenses correctly.
