Protect and Enhance a Nation’s Critical Communications
Mobile networks are essential parts of the critical national infrastructure (CNI). Both in themselves and also as vital for other critical systems, including energy grids, transportation, hospitals, public safety communications, financial systems, emergency services, and IoT-managed utilities. A disruption in the telecom layer can spread across sectors, leading to power outages, emergency service failures, logistics issues, and threats to public safety. As reliance on mobile and IoT connectivity for “smart infrastructure” grows, the importance of securing these networks grows as well. Governments and regulators face increasing pressure to ensure the security, stability, and resilience of mobile communications. Regulators and operators must act together to establish measurable assurance of network resilience to protect critical national assets.
How Enea Can Help
With over 20 years of experience in network security and performance, we provide expert advice and assist governments, regulatory authorities, and national security agencies in safeguarding and enhancing critical communication systems. We provide expert insights, threat intelligence, and consultations to help governments, regulators, and security agencies enable and protect national critical infrastructure against surveillance actors, cybercriminals, insider threats and misuse.
1. Ensure Network Resilience
Network resilience is vital because modern economies, public safety systems, and daily life rely on robust connectivity. When disruptions happen, the social and financial impacts are felt immediately. Resilient networks can endure faults and cyberattacks and quickly recover, keeping essential services such as emergency communications, healthcare, banking, and transportation running smoothly.
Today’s telecom networks carry exponentially more data than in past decades, stressing capacity and resources. For mobile network operators, this creates two main risks: network congestion and reduced service quality. These risks are especially critical during emergencies, large public events, natural disasters, or sudden increases in demand.
Regulators need to:
- Ensure mobile operators implement security controls to prevent attacks threatening service availability
- Ensure mobile network operators can provide essential services also when external forces affect capacity or create congestion
- Understand the threat landscape and how to mitigate emerging threats against critical infrastructure
How Enea Can Help
Enea’s traffic management solutions give regulators and mobile operators advanced tools to monitor, control, and optimize network load. This guarantees efficient use of available capacity, prioritizes critical services, and provides reliable performance even during heavy or unpredictable traffic situations.
Additionally, Enea’s signaling security solutions protect networks from denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on the signaling layer. They safeguard operations during malicious signaling storms and help maintain stable, resilient network performance. Our threat intelligence for national security provides an aperture into the current threat landscape.
2. Protect Data & User Privacy
Telecom networks are prime targets for data theft. Threats include large-scale breaches that access data stores with personal information for many users, as well as highly targeted attacks over signaling protocols, aimed at accessing or tracking specific people. These breaches can lead to widespread fraud against users, unauthorized surveillance and location tracking, and the interception of calls, messages, and data traffic.
Individually, these threats pose significant risks to national security and critical infrastructure. Collectively, they create a systemic vulnerability that can weaken trust in telecommunications systems. As custodians of large amounts of personal data, mobile network operators must adopt strong, resilient data-protection strategies. Simultaneously, regulators should enforce strict security and privacy standards to reduce these risks.
Regulators need to:
- Enforce and monitor protection of user data
- Require that operators follow best practices for protecting user data
- Ensure mobile operators implement security controls to prevent unauthorized access, interception, or data leakage
How Enea Can Help
Enea assists regulatory authorities with insights into current threats and best practices for protecting user data from unauthorized access and data leaks. Additionally, Enea’s signaling security solutions defend against interception and exploitation at the signaling level, helping to maintain the privacy, integrity, and confidentiality of communications.
3. Prevent Scams & Preserve Trust
Spam and scams sent through mobile networks are quickly damaging public trust in telecom services. When people no longer feel safe using SMS, voice, and mobile data, they become hesitant to use these channels for critical tasks like emergency alerts, authentication messages, and financial transactions.
This erosion of trust has widespread consequences. It weakens national security, disrupts essential infrastructure, and hampers economic growth fueled by mobile connectivity. Telecom networks are the foundation of digital societies, yet the rapid increase in fraud threatens their credibility. If trust in mobile communications fails, the dependability of these systems is at risk, causing serious social and economic effects. Restoring and maintaining trust should therefore be a top priority for both regulators and the industry.
How Enea Can Help
Enea protects end users on mobile networks from spam and scams by securing messaging and voice channels with advanced firewalls, AI-driven fraud detection, and real-time traffic analysis. By detecting and blocking malicious SMS, MMS, and RCS messages, as well as spoofed or fraudulent voice calls, Enea helps keep subscribers safe and maintain trust in mobile communications. Governments and regulators can gain insights into the state of spam and scam in mobile networks.
