Secure and resilient mobile network infrastructure is critical to the functioning of societies, economies, and states. The growing ubiquity of digital communication services places mobile network security at the very heart of countries' national security. At a time of rising geopolitical tensions globally, many nations are evolving national cyber security frameworks. However, many nations do not fully consider the cyber threat posed by inadequately secured mobile network infrastructure. Governments have an opportunity to work together with operators and build intelligent resilience and national-level threat detection. Cooperation between all parties is needed to protect the nation and its citizens against this evolving threat.

The growth of mobile connectivity globally means that mobile network infrastructure is both the frontier of digital transformation and the front line in a global digital battlefield. Some of the more vulnerable networks continue to be penetrated despite expert recommendations. Underprotected networks can be weaponized by sophisticated threat actors in the execution of hostile reconnaissance and surveillance operations. Vulnerable networks put their subscribers and inbound roamers at risk. Also, threat actors can exploit insecure infrastructure in attacks against networks in other countries, potentially implicating relations between states. Government leadership, together with the cooperation of network operators, can build, deploy and manage an effective national cyber defense.
National competent authorities we can support:
The pervasiveness of mobile connectivity makes any insecure network infrastructure a national attack surface. Threat actors attack countries through under-secured mobile network infrastructure. They exploit vulnerabilities to compromise national security, cyber security, and critical infrastructure frameworks.
The threats posed by exploiting poorly secured mobile networks range from espionage, terrorism, and cybercrime to wider criminal operations. Inadequately protected mobile networks create risks for the operators and jeopardize national security. Consequently, secure mobile networks and intelligence-led protection benefits those tasked with protecting national security, the operator, and the public. Governments and operators benefit from network-level cyber defense and threat visibility. A national cybersecurity defense is best built through the collaborative development of intelligence-led threat detection and response capabilities.
The first line of defense today is threat intelligence. An advanced, next-generation signaling security platform can be deployed to gain valuable intelligence to detect advanced telecom attacks. Not all signaling firewalls are created equal. Protection must go beyond basic compliance to build effective cyber security against sophisticated attackers and threats.
Advanced threat actors have evolved their attack methods as mobile technology has progressed through 2G, 3G, and 4G. Pernicious threat actors include state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Groups. Unreported and covert APT-level entities possess the resources, access, and motivation to exploit mobile technology vulnerabilities in 5G networks. Research by Enea AdaptiveMobile Security has identified real and significant security vulnerabilities in 5G standards and deployment models.
