Mobile Security in Critical Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure operators face unique mobile security challenges. Power plants, water treatment facilities, transportation systems, and healthcare networks rely on mobile communications for operations, making them prime targets for sophisticated attacks.

The Critical Infrastructure Threat Landscape

Nation-state actors and advanced persistent threats specifically target critical infrastructure. Mobile devices used by operators, engineers, and executives provide attack vectors that can compromise entire systems.

• SCADA/ICS Networks: Industrial control systems increasingly connected to mobile networks
• Operational Technology: Legacy systems with minimal security protections
• Supply Chain: Third-party vendors with network access
• Remote Access: Engineers accessing systems from mobile devices

SS7 Attacks on Infrastructure

SS7 vulnerabilities enable attackers to intercept 2FA codes used for industrial system access, track facility personnel locations, and conduct reconnaissance on operational patterns. These attacks are particularly dangerous because they bypass traditional network security.

Regulatory Requirements

Critical infrastructure operators must comply with stringent security frameworks including NERC CIP, NIS2 Directive, and IEC 62443. Mobile security is increasingly recognized as essential for compliance.

SS7Guard for Critical Infrastructure

• Device-level protection independent of network infrastructure
• Real-time detection of SS7 and Diameter attacks
• Integration with existing SOC and SIEM systems
• Compliance reporting for regulatory requirements
• Centralized fleet management for large deployments
