WHITE PAPER

Signaling threats: SS7 and beyond

How can I protect my network?

Mobile networks are exposed; under attack, insecure or even broken. We hear it in the media, through reports and at industry conferences. But, really, how bad is it?

In this paper, we explore the motivations behind attacks and how they impact the industry as a whole and what countermeasures can be taken to help protect and future-proof legacy networks.

Image for Signaling threats: SS7 and beyond

Why you need to read this white paper…

  • It’s widely accepted that signaling networks are being exploited on a global scale. This is affecting both operators and individual subscribers. If networks are left without adequate protection, MNOs are jeopardizing their reputation and consumer trust in their brand

  • A smartphone user may be targeted in a number of ways through technologies offered by their device, including financial fraud, identity theft, their device may be incorporated into a botnet, or may even be remotely monitored and their private data continuously exfiltrated

  • Many operators have already started exploring the available solutions on the market and started the deployment of sophisticated and stateful firewalls. It can be argued, that an MNO has a choice of three classes of signaling security countermeasures available today

  • Fraud exists in virtually every industry, but despite SS7 being seen as flawed in terms of security, the networks continue to run and are doing so very well. We still have time to meet the signaling security challenges, and build a layer of protection into our legacy networks

WHITE PAPER • POLICY & CHARGING

A network operator’s guide to differentiating in a digital era

How PCC can provide a competitive edge.

There’s a constant battle for market share in the cloud communications space. Want to embrace the opportunity and remain competitive? Then a digital transformation is needed! A consolidated real-time policy and charging control approach can enable MNOs to shift towards becoming a digital service provider.

Image for A network operator's guide to differentiating in a digital era

Why you need to read this white paper…

  • The market is transforming from one made up of communication service providers to one consisting of digital service providers. Consumers demand more control over the services they use, and with the constant increase in the number of devices, MNOs need to move with the times

  • Operators can reap the rewards from the adoption of PCC architectures, which include maximizing network value, reducing operational work, faster time to market, higher customer satisfaction, and increased automaton, just to name a few

  • Challenger operators and MVNOs are already shaking things up, coming to market with an offering optimized for the digital world. MNOs who lack the capabilities to fully embrace the digital experience are simply failing to meet the needs of their customers

  • How does PCC apply in today’s world? For one, it can play a role in controlling roll over data, ensuring every byte of data within a subscription is counted and apportioned accurately. It even has application in video streaming and VoLTE
