P1 Telecom Auditor

P1 Telecom Auditor is a SS7 and SIGTRAN vulnerability scanner and security auditor.

Telecom Network security scanner

Some compare the security situation of SS7 and SIGTRAN as the situation of TCP/IP networks on Internet in 1994: a domain being opened to the external world and lacking security controls.

P1 Telecom Auditor provides security scanning and auditing for SS7 and SIGTRAN. It enables security engineers, Telecom engineers, technical directors to discover the security level of their network and assess the protection of SS7 network elements.

It also provides CIO, CTO, VP of Engineering, decision makers and top management with key indicators on their core network security and a dashboard to control the evolution of it.

Few telecom companies have a real understanding of the risks linked to their Telecom Signaling network and the new connections between their Core Network and the external world. Such interconnection is growing more and more thanks to Internet and convergent services, Femto cells, 3g and even further services such as IMS and LTE.

P1 Telecom Auditor helps telecom and mobile operators assess and analyze their security in their core network and signaling perimeters, continuously.
