After all the loud news around the insecurity of the mobile networks and some harsh real cases that were revealed, mobile operators started taking more sophisticated security measures. Apart from the SMS Home Routing solutions, a newly grown market of the signaling firewalls is being slowly adopted into the operator’s infrastructure.This is the right way to withstand the basic attacks. We have been continuously investigating signaling networks security for years. The results of last year’s security assessments and security monitoring projects show that the situation became a little better. However, the same vulnerabilities are being exploited in a sneaky complicated way that is enough to bypass the “straight-forward” security mechanisms.
