Telecom Penetration Testing
Protect Networks, Data, and Connectivity
Telecommunications providers sit at the center of the world’s digital infrastructure, carrying voice, data, and services that power global business and everyday life. This makes them a prime target for espionage, nation-state actors, and cybercriminals seeking to exploit the backbone of connectivity itself.
Attacks on telecom networks can have cascading consequences: stolen customer data, intercepted communications, disrupted mobile or 5G services, and regulatory penalties. Compromised infrastructure doesn’t just impact uptimes: it undermines national security, public trust, and global commerce.
In an industry defined by reliability, a single breach can ripple across millions of endpoints, triggering compliance investigations, operational outages, and irreversible brand damage within hours.
By identifying and validating weaknesses early, you can:
Safeguard subscriber trust by protecting sensitive personal and financial data across billing platforms, mobile apps, and customer portals.
Maintain confidence with vendors, carriers, and infrastructure partners by proving the resilience of your interconnected networks and supply chains.
Prevent costly outages and downtime that disrupt service delivery, 5G/IoT connectivity, and recurring revenue streams.

Go Beyond Automated Scans
While automated scanners can flag surface-level issues, Packetlabs’ expert-led IoT Penetration Testing goes deeper. We probe device logic, firmware workflows, and chained exploits across sensors, gateways, and connected platforms that scanners routinely overlook.
The Impact: By leveraging manual exploitation techniques, threat-intel-driven scenarios, and creative lateral movement, our team uncovers high-impact vulnerabilities unique to IoT ecosystems. Every finding is translated into clear, actionable remediation guidance so your teams can secure devices before attackers exploit them.
