Cyber Security for Telco

Maximum Security for your Telco Infrastructure

In the telecommunications industry, protecting customer data with cyber security is essential. Companies are required more than ever to protect their IT systems and sensitive data from cyber attacks. Compliance with data protection laws such as the GDPR helps to prevent data leaks and misuse. Tallence offers customised solutions in the Telco Suite to meet these requirements. Our comprehensive services, from information security consulting and cloud security to secure digital identities and IT security, aim to ensure the security of our customers' IT systems and fulfil compliance requirements. Our experts develop and implement customised security strategies that are perfectly tailored to the specific needs of our customers.

Data Protection and Cyber Security: Cornerstones for Telecommunications Providers

In today's digital world, cyber security is crucial for telecoms companies. Protecting customer data is not only a legal obligation under the GDPR and other regulations, but also a fundamental element in preventing data leaks and misuse.

By adhering to strict data protection guidelines, telecoms providers can gain the trust of their customers and strengthen their reputation. Data security thus becomes an important quality feature that offers a clear competitive advantage.

Invest in first-class cyber security and set new standards in data protection and customer security.

"A strong cyber security framework protects telco infrastructures against increasingly complex threats."

Importance of Security for Telecommunications Companies

Security is of central importance for telecommunications companies. A high level of protection guards against cyber attacks, fends off hackers and malware and secures sensitive data to prevent data leaks. This is crucial to minimise financial losses due to security breaches and ensure financial stability. At the same time, it helps to protect reputation and maintain corporate image.

Security & Network Concepts - Cloud Security

In the modern telecommunications industry, cloud security plays a central role in ensuring the integrity and security of data in cloud environments. Our Telco Suite offers comprehensive solutions to protect your cloud infrastructure from threats and fulfil legal requirements.

Security measures and monitoring

InfoSec / Data Privacy:
Our information security management for cloud computing ensures that your data is protected from unauthorised access and loss. We use robust data protection measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

IAM (Identity and Access Management):
We provide identity and access management for cloud services and users to ensure that only authorised individuals have access to sensitive data and systems.

Technical security:
Our experts ensure the secure administration of cloud computing environments. This includes the implementation of security protocols and regular updates to close vulnerabilities.

Monitoring and surveillance:
Through continuous monitoring and surveillance of cloud services, we ensure early detection and defence against threats. Our log management system supports the tracking and analysis of security-relevant events.

Emergency management:
Our business continuity management for cloud services ensures that your company remains operational even in the event of disruptions or attacks. We develop and implement emergency plans to quickly restore business operations.

Standards and requirements

We are guided by the highest standards and requirements to ensure the security of your cloud infrastructure:

  • BSI Cloud Computing Criteria Catalogue (C5:2020)
  • BSI minimum standards for cloud computing
  • BSI IT baseline protection compendium 2023
  • ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency): Cloud Computing Benefits, Risks and Recommendations for Information Security
  • NIST SP 800-144 Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud Computing

With Tallence at your side, you are ideally equipped to master the challenges of cloud security and manage your data securely in the cloud.

Security & Network Concepts - Kubernetes Security

Safety requirements and measures

As-is assessment:

  • Kick-off: We start our security project with a comprehensive kick-off meeting to jointly define goals and expectations.
  • Interviews: Through interviews with key stakeholders, we gain an in-depth understanding of the current security situation and requirements.
  • Hardening/Baseline Security: We implement basic security measures and hardening techniques to effectively secure your Kubernetes environment.

Analysis Phase:

  • Document study: We study relevant documents and existing security policies to identify vulnerabilities and potential for improvement.
  • Requirements elaboration: We develop detailed security requirements based on the results of the as-is analysis and the document study.
  • Architecture review: We conduct a thorough review of the existing architecture to ensure that all security requirements are addressed.

Documentation:

  • Creation of concepts and policies: We create comprehensive security concepts and policies that cover all identified requirements and best practices.

Implementation:

  • Test operation and introduction: we implement the developed security measures in a test environment and then introduce them into the production environment to ensure the security of your Kubernetes infrastructure.

With these steps, we develop and implement a robust security strategy for your Kubernetes environment that meets both the current threats and the specific requirements of your organisation.

Compliance Management

Security and data protection in system development

The DSSB process is a crucial building block for ensuring security and data protection in system development. It integrates specific requirements directly into the development process of products and systems in order to offer greater transparency and improved project support.

The application of the DSSB process ensures that security and data protection requirements are taken into account right from the start. This is particularly important for telecoms providers, as they handle sensitive customer data and must comply with strict legal requirements.

The importance of data protection for telecommunications providers

For telecommunications providers, the protection of customer data is not only a legal obligation, but also a prerequisite for gaining and maintaining customer trust. By integrating DSSB into product and system development, telecoms companies can prevent data leaks, ensure financial stability and protect their reputation.

 

 

In a nutshell: advantages of the DSSB process

The DSSB process offers numerous advantages that make it a valuable method for security and data protection in system development:

  • Efficiency: optimised use of resources ensures effective and targeted use of available resources.
  • Transparency: Comprehensible processes ensure clarity and transparency in all phases of development.
  • Support: Expert support offers continuous help and advice from experienced specialists.
  • Security: High security standards guarantee comprehensive protection against threats and risks.
  • Integration: Seamless process integration enables smooth integration of security measures into existing processes.
  • Compliance: Legal compliance ensures that all relevant regulations and guidelines are observed.

Data Protection and Security Assessments in the Telecommunications Environment

In the telecommunications environment, compliance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is crucial to ensure the protection of personal data. Our solution approach includes comprehensive data protection and security assessments supported by assessment, analysis and documentation.

Assessment: The process begins with a kick-off meeting and interviews, followed by tool scanning to capture the current status of security measures.

Analysis phase: In the analysis phase, we conduct a detailed document study, develop requirements, review the architecture and assess risks.

Documentation: Finally, we create a requirements matrix, technical documentation, operational concepts and deletion concepts to ensure that all measures are GDPR-compliant and meet the highest security standards.
