# Path Governance for Carrier Networks 

Telecommunications infrastructure carries the data of entire nations. When management planes are compromised, attackers do not just reach one organisation. They reach every organisation that relies on the network.

-   Signalling-plane abuse (SS7/Diameter)
-   Management plane compromise
-   Nation-state intercepts
-   Ransomware on OSS/BSS

The Challenge 

## Carrier networks face persistent, sophisticated threats.

01 

### Management Plane Exposure

Core network management interfaces remain reachable from the same paths that carry subscriber traffic, creating lateral movement opportunities.

02 

### Vendor Access Risks

Equipment vendors require ongoing access for maintenance, creating persistent pathways that attackers exploit through supply chain compromise.

03 

### Signalling Exploitation

SS7 and Diameter signalling vulnerabilities allow interception and redirection of subscriber communications across interconnected networks.

Telecoms

> Telecommunications networks are national infrastructure. If the management plane is reachable from the data plane, every subscriber and every organisation relying on that network is exposed.

The Scenario

### Scenario: Core Network Management Compromise

An advanced persistent threat group compromises a vendor remote access portal used for routine maintenance on mobile core equipment. Over six weeks, they escalate privileges from the vendor management VLAN into the packet core, gaining access to subscriber location data and call routing tables. The attackers redirect traffic for targeted individuals through compromised nodes for interception. With Control, the vendor access path is physically severed outside maintenance windows. The management plane exists on a separate, disconnected network that requires multi-party authorisation to activate. The attack vector ceases to exist between scheduled maintenance periods.

"We had 14 vendor access paths into our core network. Each one was a logical separation that looked solid on paper. When we mapped the actual reachability, every single one could be traversed with sufficient privilege escalation."

Module deployment · telecoms network 

## Where each Control module is deployed across BSS, OSS, the core network and the edge.

Telecoms operators run business systems, an OSS that manages the network, a packet core and signalling, and RAN and edge equipment that reaches the subscriber. Control puts a real boundary at each layer.

Grounded in 3GPP / ETSI security architecture, NIS2 telecoms Annex and ENISA 5G threat landscape guidance.

Capabilities

## What you get with every deployment

01 

### Sovereign Data Paths

All management and configuration data remains within the agreed jurisdiction in NATO-approved Firevault Bunkers, never transiting public cloud or foreign infrastructure.

02 

### Multi-Party Vendor Access

Vendor maintenance sessions require sign-off from both the vendor team and internal network security before any access path is activated.

03 

### Ofcom and NIS2 Evidence

Automated compliance logging maps directly to Ofcom security requirements and NIS2 Article 21 outcomes for telecoms operators.

04 

### Out-of-Band Management

Dedicated cellular connectivity provides control plane access independent of the carrier network itself, ensuring management capability during network-wide incidents.

05 

### Immutable Audit Trail

Every vendor session, configuration change, and access authorisation is recorded in tamper-proof logs stored on physically separate infrastructure.

06 

### Verified Core Configuration Baselines

Verified baselines of core network configuration enable restoration of control-plane state during total network compromise scenarios.
