FORWARD-THINKING COMSEC AND MOBILE DEFENSE SOLUTIONS

National governments as well as international organizations have a wide range of missions and tasks to fulfill in an equally wide range of organizational and legal frameworks. Serving the mobile security needs of institutional clients in over 50 countries worldwide, GSMK knows that no two organizations are alike, and that each individual mission requires great attention to detail to ensure that the COMSEC infrastructure that is to support this mission is up to the task.

 

SECURE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Governments need to run large, complex communication networks that must provide reliable platforms for classified information.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for example, must rely on a global transnational network to transport sensitive information between the Ministry at home and embassies and missions around the world. Many of these will be capable of communicating over multiple communication channels including satellite. In addition, in each country, the local embassy needs to be able to communicate securely with the ambassador’s residence, travelling attachés, and other staff members – and they need to be able to consult with officials at home using a secure line. To meet these needs, GSMK can provide a comprehensive secure communications system that is customized to a client’s individual requirements, can be easily scaled when needed, and that can adapt to changing requirements over time.

Many years of successful collaboration with national governments and high-profile international organizations have made GSMK uniquely qualified to provide modern, reliable, and most of all secure communication systems with 360° protection that meet the needs of these organizations for the twenty-first century.

MOBILE INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

The GSMK Overwatch® and GSMK Oversight® network security systems allow telecommunications regulatory authorities as well as public safety and security agencies to defend themselves against illegal interception, user tracking, manipulation and fraud on the network level, covering the entire signal chain from edge to core.

GSMK OVERWATCH®: IMSI CATCHER DETECTION

Rogue base stations, including so-called “IMSI Catchers”, have become a common threat. Their increasing deployment by state and non-state actors thanks to falling costs associated with the massive proliferation of the underlying technology poses significant concerns about the security of the air interface. Attacker’s goals typically include registration, interception, and manipulation of mobile devices ranging from smartphones of senior government representatives to access control systems.

As you need to deal with these “hostile network” scenarios to protect your key locations and assets, GSMK can arm your counter intelligence operators and authorities with the tools to eliminate illegal use of IMSI catchers, other rogue base stations and jammers (GNSS and 2G, 3G, 4G). From border protection to critical infrastructures, embassies and national defense installations, GSMK can provide you with a strategic network protection system combining robust back-end systems with high-performance, high-reliability waterproof sensor platforms for comprehensive and continuous detection in fixed or mobile installations .

GSMK OVERSIGHT®:  CORE NETWORK PROTECTION

Recently publicized security vulnerabilities in the Signaling System 7 (“SS7”) and Diameter communications protocols that form the foundation of most inter-operator traffic exchange compromise the integrity of your national telecommunications infrastructure. These vulnerabilities allow an attacker from abroad to track the whereabouts of government officials, deny service to any officer or public servant, and even take control of outgoing calls by changing the subscriber’s Intelligent Network (IN) Service Control Function address, allowing the attacker to manage calls made by the subscriber – including intercepting and recording them. Resolving the problem of SS7 and Diameter attacks requires extensive screening and filtering of signaling requests well beyond standard network configuration measures.

To ensure the integrity of your national infrastructure, ensure that attackers can be traced and identified, and that the government can continue to function in the event of an attack on your national core network infrastructure, GSMK developed the GSMK Oversight® Detect Intrusion Detection System and the GSMK Oversight® Protect Firewall. Automated analysis helps you to draw actionable intelligence from large quantities of signaling data and deliver a complete network security picture in real time as it happens. This information gives you the power to resolve situations as they happen and act on emergencies with confidence.
