This essential resource provides critical insights into the successful planning, launch, and operation of U.S. Government (USG) enterprise private network modernization programs. Drawing on Spirent's decades of experience in wireless network validation and well-established delivery of security testing solutions across a broad range of environments, the paper delivers a detailed roadmap for a comprehensive testing strategy to support the achievement of performance, reliability, and security goals across all phases of private network planning, development, and deployment. This white paper addresses essential topics for government agencies and technology partners, including:

New cybersecurity frameworks are needed to address the new complex vulnerabilities in 5G networks. Holistic security testing is required for 5G success.

This case study examines an engagement with a North American Tier-1 carrier that commissioned Spirent SecurityLabs to conduct penetration testing and a Host Security Review of their session border controller. Spirent’s penetration tests conform with the recommendations in NIST 800-115 section 5. The process consists of multiple phases – planning, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. Spirent’s team of experts identified numerous critical and high-severity issues in the deployed version of the SBC that posed a significant risk to the asset, its network, and other assets in conjunction with the business unit and organization, or its customers.

The hybrid workforce – blending on-site, remote and work from home (WFH) – along with new cloud use cases are being adopted rapidly and it’s redefining traditional networking in the process. With the advent of 5G, the attack surface is growing at a rapid pace and becoming highly complex as cybersecurity attacks and attackers keep getting smarter. Staying a step ahead requires knowing your security vulnerabilities, elevating the urgency of holistic security.

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) represents a game-changing capability in 5G environments for organizations, delivering faster speeds and enhanced bandwidth, thereby fostering a new level of products and services to their customers. To achieve that, a new level of complexity is introduced into the 5G equation. With that comes a drastically expanded threat surface which must be accounted for with comprehensive end-to-end testing coverage.

Multi-access edge computing drastically expands the 5G threat surface. Spirent SecurityLabs provides a proven methodology for 5G MEC security testing.
