Telecom cybersecurity, where the attack converts straight into a bill
Telecom has a threat the rest of the industry does not: fraud that turns compromised access directly into billable traffic, often overnight, often over a weekend.
What changes here
Cybersecurity Services in telecommunications is not the same engagement
Toll fraud defence that works at 3am on a Saturday
Rate limiting, destination controls, and anomaly alerting tuned so that a compromised SIP credential is contained in minutes rather than discovered on the interconnect invoice.
Signalling abuse tested, not assumed
SIP registration, authentication, and topology testing against the techniques used in the wild, including enumeration and registration hijacking.
Subscriber data treated as its own class
Call detail records, location, and account data carry specific obligations. Access to them is designed and evidenced separately from general system access.
What the regime actually requires
Operators carry obligations over subscriber information and call authentication that most other sectors do not, with the FCC and CRTC both active in the area.
- Customer proprietary network information protected and access-controlled under FCC CPNI rules
- Annual CPNI compliance certification for carriers subject to it
- STIR/SHAKEN call authentication posture for IP-originated traffic
- Robocall mitigation obligations, with the associated database filings kept current
The work itself
Full cybersecurity services pagePenetration testing and application security
Authenticated testing of web, mobile, and API surfaces against the OWASP Top 10 and business-logic abuse, with reproductions rather than scanner output.
Cloud and infrastructure security assessment
IAM, network exposure, storage, encryption, and logging reviewed against CIS benchmarks across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Code and supply-chain review
Secure code review on the paths that handle money, identity, and personal data, plus dependency, image, and secret scanning wired into CI.
Remediation alongside your engineers
We fix, or pair with the people who will — prioritized by exploitability and blast radius, then retested so the finding is closed rather than acknowledged.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS readiness
Control mapping, policy and evidence collection, and the technical gaps closed before an auditor names them. We prepare you; the audit itself is signed by a licensed firm.
Monitoring, response, and access review
Security logging that survives an incident, an incident-response runbook rehearsed once rather than never, and access reviews on a schedule.
