Security Services: Telecom Security Research Nodes & Capabilities
High-fidelity research enablement and collaborative infrastructure for the global telecom security community.
TelcoSec provides hands-on training and cyber-range environments for telecom security professionals, bridging the gap between Telecom Experts and red teams through realistic, 3GPP and GSMA specification-compliant exercises. Our platform enables experts to develop and practice advanced telecom security skills, from SS7 and legacy signaling to 5G core and API exploitation.
Telecommunications networks are fundamentally different from standard enterprise IT environments. Most commercial vulnerability scanners and penetration testing frameworks have no native understanding of SS7 MAP operations, Diameter AVP encoding, GTP-U tunneling, or the HTTP/2 and JSON-based Service Based Architecture (SBA) of 5G. Running a generic NMAP scan against a GSMA IPX hub or a 5G AMF service endpoint will produce no meaningful results — and may trigger alerting on the operator's signaling monitoring systems.
Our research nodes are built by practitioners who have spent years developing domain-specific tools and test methodologies that speak the native language of telecom infrastructure. Whether validating the security of a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) interconnect, performing GTP control plane fuzzing against an S-GW, or auditing an open-source 5G core (such as Open5GS or free5GC), our approach is always grounded in real protocol behaviour and verified against live emulated environments before being applied to production-adjacent scopes.
