Secure your 5G networks with deep telecom security expertise



Montsecure helps operators, vendors, and critical infrastructure providers understand and harden their mobile networks. From threat modeling and pentesting to hands‑on 5G security testing, we combine standards expertise with practical experience in deployed networks. This becomes increasingly important as NIS2 regulation increases pressure on European operators. We support you across the full lifecycle of your mobile network security: identify and prioritize security risks in complex 4G/5G environments, verify that your controls align with standards and best practices, test real network components and interfaces, not just paper concepts, and prepare for audits, certifications, and customer security reviews.

Threat Modeling
Threat Modeling

Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment

Modern 5G networks are highly complex. We help you cut through that complexity and focus on the risks that really matter.

What we do
  • Develop tailored threat models for your architecture and use cases
  • Systematically identify relevant attack vectors and potential vulnerabilities
  • Map threats against assets, trust boundaries, and data flows
  • Apply standards‑based and repeatable assessment methodologies
Your benefits
  • A clear, shared picture of your current security posture
  • Prioritized risk list with concrete remediation recommendations
  • Documentation that can be reused for audits, internal approvals, and stakeholders
  • Better decision‑making for investments in controls, monitoring, and testing
Security Controls

Security Controls Verification

You may already have many controls in place. We verify whether they are effective, correctly implemented, and aligned with industry expectations.

What we do
  • Review policies, procedures, and architecture documentation
  • Verify controls against relevant industry standards and guidelines
    • For example: GSMA FS.31 and related telecom security requirements
  • Assess configuration and operational practices against best practices
  • Identify gaps, overlaps, and opportunities to simplify your control set
Your benefits
  • Independent view of your existing security measures
  • Concrete, standards‑referenced recommendations for improvement
  • Better preparation for customer security questionnaires and audits
  • Reduced risk of "unknown unknowns" in your security documentation
5GC Security Testing

5G Core Network (5GC) Security Testing & Pentesting

We perform hands‑on security testing and penetration testing of 5G Core components to validate that your implementation behaves securely under real‑world conditions.

What we test
  • Authentication mechanisms
    • Subscriber authentication flows
    • Mutual authentication between network functions
  • Session and mobility management
    • Session setup, modification, and teardown
    • Handling of error conditions and edge cases
  • Key 5GC network functions
    • AMF, SMF, UDM and related components
    • Interface‑level security and hardening (e.g., service‑based interfaces)
Your benefits
  • Practical insight into how secure your 5GC behaves in reality
  • Findings that are directly actionable for engineering and operations teams
  • Support for compliance with 3GPP / GSMA security assurance requirements
  • Increased confidence when deploying new releases or onboarding new vendors
RAN Security

Radio Access Network (RAN) Security Assessment & Pentesting

The RAN is often the most exposed part of the network. We help you understand and strengthen its security posture through comprehensive assessment and penetration testing.

What we do
  • Assess gNodeB security configuration and hardening
  • Review access control and management interfaces
  • Analyze potential radio‑side vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
  • Consider interactions between RAN, transport, and core network
Your benefits
  • Clear understanding of how well your RAN is protected in practice
  • Recommendations that balance security with operational feasibility
  • Better resilience against misuse of radio resources and management access

How we work

Independent and focused

We are a specialized telecom security team with deep experience in 3GPP, GSMA, and BSI contexts. We work vendor‑agnostically and focus on practical, real‑world outcomes.

Standards‑aligned, not standards‑limited

We use relevant standards and best practices as a foundation, but we go beyond checklist thinking. Our goal is to uncover realistic attack paths and provide actionable mitigation steps.

Collaborative with your teams

We work closely with your architects, engineers, and operations teams. Findings are documented clearly, and we make sure they are understood by the people who need to implement changes.
