P1 Security will be exhibiting at MWC Barcelona 2026, from 2 to 5 March, at the French Pavilion, BLOCK 5B41 – Stand 13. Learn more about our presence here.
Our 2026 presence is dedicated to mobile network operators, regulators, and national-scale critical communication providers who want real-world clarity on 5G security, not theoretical frameworks. While many discussions in telecom still revolve around what 5G security should be, we are demonstrating what it actually looks like in production networks when tested under real offensive conditions.
At P1 Security, we bring proof over promises. Our team will show how attackers behave inside live core environments, how legacy trust models persist, and how the telecom attack surface remains larger than most operators realize.
A 360° Vision of Telecom Security
At MWC 2026, P1 Security will showcase its new 360° TelcoSec vision — a comprehensive framework covering every layer of telecom infrastructure:
- Core Network Security – vulnerabilities in EPC and 5GC, signaling (SS7, Diameter, GTP-C) and policy control.
- RAN & Open RAN Security – risks in disaggregated radio access networks and fronthaul interfaces.
- Edge & MEC Security – threats from multi-access edge computing and low-latency data offload.
- Roaming Security – cross-border interconnect abuse and location/SMS exfiltration.
- NTN & Satellite Security – vulnerabilities in non-terrestrial 5G links and gateway systems.
- IMS & SIP Security – abuse of VoLTE/VoNR signaling and multimedia control planes.
- NFVI & Cloud-Native Security – container escape risks, Kubernetes exposure, and service-mesh weaknesses.
- OAM Security – attacks on management interfaces, monitoring tools, and configuration pipelines.
- IP Network Security – underlying transport and routing vulnerabilities used for pivot attacks.
This 360-degree approach connects risks, threats, impacts, and defenses into one continuous view — from legacy 2G systems to modern 5G Standalone architectures.
Why Operators Visit Our Stand
Operators who meet us at MWC are searching for technical truth, not slideware. They want:
- Field evidence of how threat actors move inside live 5G networks.
- Visibility on how 4G/5G coexistence creates hidden attack paths.
- Insight into how virtualization and cloud interconnect expand risk.
- Verification of how NFVI and OAM blind spots allow persistence.
- Guidance on hardening core network security beyond compliance.
Our offensive missions across multiple operator environments deliver this evidence with data, not speculation.
Live Offensive Security Demonstrations
Throughout MWC Barcelona 2026, we’ll run live 5G security demonstrations based on recent penetration tests and vulnerability assessments for tier-one operators.
Expect to see:
- Core infiltration scenarios and signaling message manipulation.
- Realistic RAN-to-Core pivot techniques.
- Exploitation of misconfigured NFVI and edge nodes.
- Persistent attacks via OAM and management planes.
- Cross-domain visibility gaps that enable stealth movement.
These sessions showcase authentic telecom attack behavior captured during controlled operator assessments. The material is exclusive to on-site visitors — no recordings or online releases.
Direct Access to Experts
Meet the team behind these findings:
- Pierre Godret, General Manager
- Yves Mangamba, Head of Sales
- El Mehdi Regragui, Telecom Security Expert
All three work daily on telecom penetration testing, signaling security, and regulatory alignment (EECC, NIS2). Conversations at our stand go straight into architecture and defense strategy — no marketing filters.
Why MWC Barcelona Matters for 5G Security in 2026
5G is now embedded in national-scale infrastructure and interconnected with legacy systems, cloud cores, and international roaming paths. Each new interface adds an attack vector.
The rapid adoption of virtualization, edge computing, and private 5G deployments demands continuous threat monitoring and attack-surface management.
MWC Barcelona 2026 is where the telecom community confronts these realities — and P1 Security will be there to deliver field-validated insight and technical proof of risk.
Our message is clear: the future of telecom security is 360° — every layer, every technology, continuously tested and monitored.
