Radio Access Network (RAN) Security Testing

Safeguard the critical link between user devices and your core network. Prevent threats from compromising subscriber privacy, service availability, and overall network stability.
Multi-Generation Coverage
Comprehensive evaluation across 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, VoLTE, VoWiFi, and Open RAN deployments.
Industry-Standard Compliance
Rigorous assessments strictly following GSMA guidelines.
Deep-Packet Validation
Verification of authentication, encryption, integrity protection, and traffic policies.

Subscriber Privacy Risks

Preventing the interception or exposure of sensitive user data and communications over the air interface.

Service Availability Risks

Identifying flaws that could allow bad actors to degrade network performance or execute denial-of-service attacks against subscribers.

Network Stability Risks

Ensuring that anomalous traffic or configuration weaknesses at the radio edge cannot destabilize core network operations.

Understanding the RAN Attack Surface

The Radio Access Network (RAN) serves as the fundamental bridge connecting user devices to the core network. Because it acts as the primary access gateway, it represents a highly critical point in your infrastructure.
Without stringent security measures, vulnerabilities at the radio edge can be exploited, leading to cascading consequences for both the operator and the end-user. Our testing focuses on mitigating three primary threat vectors.

Comprehensive Multi Technology Coverage

Our RAN Testing methodology is segmented into three specialized pillars, ensuring precise security validation across all radio access technologies.

2G / 3G / 4G / 5G

What is tested
We conduct a comprehensive security evaluation across all traditional mobile network generations.
Why it matters
Networks often run multiple generations simultaneously. Security controls must be consistent to prevent downgrade attacks where threats exploit older, less secure radio technologies.
Security focus
Verifying that fundamental security measures—including encryption and integrity protection—are correctly applied across both legacy and modern air interfaces.

VoLTE & VoWiFi

What is tested
We assess the specific security layer governing IP-based voice communications.
Why it matters
Voice over LTE and Voice over Wi-Fi expose the network to packet-based threats that differ from traditional circuit-switched voice vulnerabilities.
Security focus
Validating traffic policies, encryption protocols, and authentication mechanisms to ensure voice traffic cannot be intercepted or manipulated.

RAN Architecture

What is tested
Security evaluations tailored for modern, disaggregated Open RAN deployments.
Why it matters
While Open RAN drives innovation, its multi-vendor, disaggregated nature introduces new interfaces and integration points, requiring standardized and highly secure integration to prevent exploitation.
Security focus
Ensuring that authentication and integrity protection are flawlessly maintained across the disaggregated radio components and correctly adhere to industry standards.

Security Validation Approach

We assess your RAN deployments against rigorous industry standards, strictly following GSMA guidelines to ensure secure and reliable radio network operations.
Our core methodology is built on the validation of correct implementation across all radio access technologies. We go beyond surface-level checks to verify that essential security measures are actively and correctly applied.

Authentication

Ensuring only authorized user devices and valid network components can establish a connection.

Encryption

Validating that data in transit over the radio interface is fully protected against eavesdropping.

Integrity Protection

Confirming that signaling and user data cannot be maliciously altered in transit.

Traffic Policies

Testing that network routing and traffic management rules are securely configured and enforced.

Key Value Proposition

Our RAN Security Testing translates deep technical validation into measurable business outcomes.

Protection of Subscriber Privacy

Maintain customer trust by ensuring their data and communications remain entirely confidential.

Assurance of Service Availability

Keep your network running flawlessly by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities that lead to service degradation or downtime.

Stability of Network Operations

Fortify the radio edge to protect the core network, ensuring highly reliable, uninterrupted operations.

Why This Matters: The Cost of Weak RAN Security

The RAN is the frontier of your mobile network. Failing to secure it correctly introduces severe enterprise risks.

Entry Point into the Core Network

The RAN connects directly to the core. A compromised radio edge can serve as a stepping stone for lateral movement into highly sensitive central network functions.

Service Disruption Risks

Weak traffic policies or flawed authentication can be weaponized, leading to localized or widespread network outages.

Data and Privacy Exposure

Inadequate encryption or missing integrity protection leaves subscriber data fully exposed over the air, resulting in severe privacy breaches and regulatory non-compliance.
