Telecommunications
Map Telecommunications Exposure at Carrier Scale.
National operators, MVNOs and ISPs run surfaces that are large by any measure: self-care portals, billing pages, partner integrations, network operations interfaces and the infrastructure of each brand acquired along the way.
The Deepinfo Platform discovers that surface from your root domains, scans every asset layer by layer and keeps each layer’s history.
- Asset discovery: beside the mast, an acquired brand’s old operations building nobody listed: noc.oldbrand.example, not in inventory.
- Continuous scanning: on the mast, the upper microwave dish’s management interface, a port open that was shut at the last scan: mgmt.operator.example, 8443/tcp newly open, high, caught between two scans.
- Risk detection: in the exchange, the server of the billing pages: billing.operator.example, certificate expiring, medium.
- Risk scoring: in the exchange, the server behind SIM ordering: sim.operator.example: CVE-2021-44228, CVSS 10, listed in CISA KEV, critical.
- Cyber Threat Intelligence: in a subscriber’s home the mast serves, an infected laptop: selfcare.operator.example, login in an infostealer log.
- Brand Risk Protection: by the road, a billboard for self-care that is not yours: operator-selfcare.example, lookalike · contains.
- Third-Party Risk Management: past the home, an MVNO partner’s shop and a supplier’s service van, drawn dashed because they are not yours: mvno-partner.example, graded C; site-services.example, graded B, each linked to operator.example.
Where Carrier Surfaces Lose Track of Themselves.
Acquisitions
Inherited Infrastructure
Acquired brands arrive with domains, hosts and certificates nobody on the security team has inventoried. Some outlive the brand.
Subsidiary brands
Registered on Their Own
Mobile, broadband and digital-services brands run their own domains and infrastructure, often with their own agencies and hosting.
Subscribers
What Impersonators Copy
Self-care, SIM ordering, payment and campaign sites are what subscribers look for, which makes them what impersonators copy.
Adversaries
Patient and State-Sponsored
State-sponsored groups treat operators as a target and as a route into the networks they carry. Fraud groups go after subscriber accounts.
Everything Behind One Carrier Domain.
Asset Discovery follows the relationships the index can see: subdomains, the IPs they resolve to, other domains on those IPs, domains registered by the same registrant or sharing your mail servers. Your team approves what belongs, and approved assets are scanned from then on.

How Each Module Works for an Operator.
EASM
External Attack Surface Management
Discovery and continuous scanning across all layers, with CVEs ranked by CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV. Assets go in through the API in bulk when you onboard a whole brand at once.
CTI
Cyber Threat Intelligence
Threat actor profiles list the countries and industries each group targets and the CVEs and tools it uses. Filter to telecom and your region.
BRP
Brand Risk Protection
Lookalikes of your brand and self-care domains, matched as they appear and watched for DNS, mail, certificate and HTTP changes.
TPRM
Third-Party Risk Management
Subsidiaries, MVNO partners and suppliers as portfolios, each scanned and scored against the parent.
Run the Group as Many Portfolios.
Monitor each operating brand, subsidiary or acquisition as its own portfolio, with its own inventory, issues and score. The group security team compares them on one scale instead of reconciling separate tools.
Notification rules fire on new assets, new open ports, certificate, WHOIS and DNS changes and score drops. Each rule sends instantly or as an hourly to monthly digest.

Workflows Sized for a Carrier.
Attack Surface Management
An inventory of everything the group exposes, kept current as brands launch and retire.
Subsidiary Oversight
Each brand and subsidiary as a portfolio, scored like the parent.
Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence
A target’s external posture before the deal closes, and its inherited assets after.
Threat Intelligence Operations
Profiles of the groups that target telecom, with the CVEs and tools each one uses.
Incident Investigation and Response
Reverse IP, MX, NS and WHOIS pivots across the index while an incident is still open.
Phishing Detection and Prevention
Lookalike self-care and SIM-order domains caught when they first appear.
Credential Exposure Management
Employee and subscriber credentials found in breach data and infostealer logs.
Vulnerability Management
Exploited and likely-to-be-exploited CVEs on exposed assets, fixed first.
The Data Is Yours to Use Too
The index under the platform is also sold as data. Teams that build their own tooling query it through the API or take it as bulk feeds, and Internet Insights shows what it sees each day.
Questions About Deepinfo in Telecommunications
Does the platform keep up with a surface this large?
Scanning runs continuously on all approved assets, discovery keeps proposing new ones, and assets can be added in bulk through the API. Filter-driven bulk actions approve, ignore or tag every record that matches a search, so large inventories stay workable.
Can each subsidiary brand be monitored separately?
Yes. Each brand or subsidiary can be its own portfolio with its own inventory, issues and score, and all portfolios share one scale, so the group view compares like with like.
Does the platform scan our core network?
No. It sees what is reachable from the internet: domains, subdomains, IP addresses and the services answering on them. A management interface that answers on a public address shows up as an open port with the service behind it.
Can we see subscribers’ leaked logins?
Yes. Compromised Client Credential Monitoring finds customer logins to your self-care and other services in leaked credential data, each with the URL it opens, and keeps each record open until your team closes it.
Does the platform map to telecom security regulations?
Not as a classification. Telecom security rules are set country by country, while the platform classifies issues against general frameworks, OWASP Top 10 2021 and PCI DSS among them. For your regulator, the record does the work: each issue with its evidence, the states it moved through and the rescan that verified the fix.
