Security as a Managed Service

Hackers and bad actors are constantly looking for new ways to defeat or circumvent existing firewall practices. Stay a step ahead by letting our team of experts manage your signalling security to ensure your network and subscribers benefit from best in class protection from DoS, location tracking, eavesdropping (man in the middle), spam and other fraud and attacks over signalling protocols.

Operation and Maintenance

Cellusys will monitor and maintain security standards for all interconnect traffic terminating on the customer network by investigating challenges and events and implementing rulesets based on: 

  • GSMA guidelines and known threats (FS.11, FS.19 FS.20, etc.)
  • Exceptions requested by customer
  • Specified whitelisting rules 
  • Network-specific challenges 
  • Updated industry recommendations ex: GSMA Fraud and Security Group
  • Reported or discovered fraud cases

Products

All modules of the Protect Unified Signalling Firewall including SS7, Diameter, SIP, and GTP can be monitored, maintained, and tested remotely by our team, offering immediate reaction to emerging threats.

Reporting

Receive customised daily or weekly reports via email to understand network traffic trends and abnormalities. Benefit from valuable insight such as count of messages allowed, dropped, and modified as well as customised metrics and KPIs based on a broad set of available signalling parameter data. Utilize accurate data on the source and methodology of attempted attacks.

Testing

With necessary authorisation, a full cross-protocol analysis (penetration test) of your network will be performed regularly by simulating attacks on the network using a variety of industry techniques utilized by attackers. 

Intercepting these messages on the firewall exposes any potential information leakage or weaknesses in the current ruleset. If new security threats are discovered as the result of testing, corrective actions will be taken to safeguard against newly discovered security vulnerabilities.
