SS7 Under Attack: How MNOs Are Being Exploited—and How to Stop It
Mobile network operators (MNOs) worldwide face an escalating cybersecurity challenge. SS7 vulnerabilities are a global challenge, exposing networks to risks such as call and SMS disruptions, data fraud, and OTP interception. Attackers no longer need physical access to exploit these flaws—remote penetration of global networks has made SS7 an urgent security concern.
How can operators protect their networks and subscribers? A newly released white paper from iBASIS and jtendo reveals key findings from a global penetration testing campaign, uncovering the top threats affecting MNOs and how to mitigate them.
Key Findings:
- SS7 vulnerabilities are widespread and are making networks susceptible to fraud, privacy breaches, and service disruptions, which threaten customer trust and financial stability.
- Regular penetration testing is a critical investment to uncover hidden weaknesses and risks, maintain regulatory compliance, and protect brand reputation.
- Implementing strong countermeasures, such as defense-in-depth strategies and advanced signaling firewalls, ensures network resilience against evolving threats while safeguarding revenue and customer loyalty.
What You’ll Learn:
- The top five most common vulnerabilities in SS7 signaling networks
- How these security risks affect both operators and subscribers
- The best practices and security solutions for mitigating these threats
- Why penetration testing is no longer optional for MNOs
