Safeguard the critical link between user devices and your core network. Prevent threats from compromising subscriber privacy, service availability, and overall network stability.
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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is RAN Security Testing?
RAN Security Testing is a comprehensive security evaluation of the Radio Access Network—the infrastructure that connects user devices to thecore network. It verifies that essential security measures are correctly applied across all mobile network generations.
Why is the RAN a critical security layer?
Because the RAN connects user devices directly to the core network, it acts as the primary access point. It represents a critical area where threats could compromise subscriber privacy, disrupt service availability, or destabilize overall network operations.
What technologies are covered in your assessment?
Our testing covers all mobile network generations and deployment models. This includes 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, as well as IP-based communications like VoLTE and VoWiFi, and modern Open RAN deployments.
How does this align with GSMA standards?
We strictly assess all RAN deployments against established industry standards. Our testing follows GSMA guidelines to guarantee that your radio network operations are secure, reliable, and compliant with global best practices.
What specific security controls are validated?
Our evaluation verifies the correct application of four essential security measures: authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols, integrity protection, and traffic policies.
How is Open RAN security different?
Open RAN utilizes a modern, disaggregated architecture. Unlike traditional closed systems, this requires standardized and highly secure integration across multiple components to ensure that vulnerabilities are not introduced at the new interaction points.
Why is multi-generation testing important?
Because modern networks still support legacy technologies (like 2G and 3G) alongside 4G and 5G. Testing all generations ensures that security controls are consistently applied and prevents attackers from exploiting weaknesses in older protocols.
How does this impact service reliability?
By rigorously validating traffic policies and authentication across all radio access technologies, we identify vulnerabilities that could lead to service disruption. Mitigating these risks ensures uninterrupted service availability and overall network stability.
