THE PROBLEM

What’s Holding

Telecommunication Sector Back?

Plaintext Key Exposure

Credentials, SIM auth keys, and HSS access details stored without adequate protection, the exact conditions behind the SK Telecom breach.

Certificate Sprawl

Thousands of certificates across base stations, core nodes, and API gateways managed inconsistently, creating outage risk and compliance gaps.

SIM Quantum Risk

IMSI numbers and USIM auth keys secured with RSA/ECC are prime targets for harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks.

Unsigned Firmware

Firmware deployed across base stations and routers without cryptographic signing can be tampered in transit, creating persistent backdoors.

Regulatory Pressure

NIS2 designates telecom as essential entities with strict cryptographic control requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

METHODOLOGY

Our Approach

We bring deep cryptography expertise to every telecom engagement. We start with your network architecture, regulatory obligations, and operational risk tolerance. Every engagement is built around three principles

01

Visibility First

We begin with a complete picture of your cryptographic footprint across every network layer and environment.

02

Automation Over Manual

We replace fragmented processes with policy-driven automation that holds up under NIS2 and regulatory audit.

03

Future-Ready by Design

Crypto agility and post-quantum readiness built in from day one to secure subscriber identity and network authentication.
