External exposure for the infrastructure carrying everything else.
Telecommunications operators run some of the largest external surfaces in any industry. National operators, MVNOs, and ISPs all manage sprawling infrastructure across legacy systems, customer-facing portals, and operational technology. The attackers know it. State-sponsored actors target telecom for both subscriber data and access to downstream networks; financially-motivated groups target telecom for fraud and disruption.
Massive surfaces, sophisticated adversaries.
Telecom external surfaces are large by definition. National operators carry tens of thousands of public-facing assets across customer portals, billing systems, network operations interfaces, and acquired subsidiary brands. Subdomains accumulate over decades; legacy systems persist beyond their original owners; M&A integration leaves shadow infrastructure for years.
Telecom adversaries match the surface complexity. State-sponsored groups treat telecom as both a target and a stepping stone: subscriber data has direct value, and telecom infrastructure provides access to downstream networks across every customer. Financially-motivated actors target SIM-swap fraud, billing-system compromise, and credential markets.
Deepinfo handles surface scale by design. The discovery engine surfaces assets across subsidiaries, regions, and acquisition history. Continuous scanning runs across the seven data layers per asset on Deepinfo's schedule, not yours. Threat intelligence covers the actor groups active against telecom specifically.
Four platform capabilities, framed for telecom security workflows.
Discovery across subsidiary sprawl. Continuous scanning at carrier scale. Threat intelligence scoped to telecom-specific actor groups. Brand defense for the customer-facing impersonation channels SIM-swap fraud uses.
Surface discovery across subsidiary sprawl.
EASM's Smart Asset Discovery surfaces assets across subsidiaries, regional brands, and M&A inheritance. The forgotten subdomains, the legacy interfaces, the shadow IT spun up by individual teams. The starting inventory is rarely complete; discovery makes it more complete continuously.
Continuous scanning at carrier scale.
Seven-layer scanning across every asset in your monitored inventory, on Deepinfo's continuous schedule. Drift detection on every change. Historical state preserved per layer for incident investigation and compliance evidence.
Threat actor intelligence scoped to telecom.
CTI's Threat Actor Intelligence covers groups active against telecom: state-sponsored campaigns, SIM-swap fraud rings, infrastructure-pivot operators. TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK with telecom-specific context.
Brand defense for customer-facing impersonation.
BRP detects fraudulent domains, fake mobile apps, and SIM-swap-adjacent customer impersonation. Critical for customer trust in markets where SIM-swap and account-takeover fraud is prevalent.
Workflows we see operators run.
Group-wide subsidiary oversight.
Continuous monitoring of every subsidiary, regional brand, and acquired entity as a separate portfolio. Rolled-up dashboards for group-level views.
