Telcos face an increasingly complex cybersecurity threat surface due to technologies like IoT, 5G, and cloud computing, which introduce new vulnerabilities and increase data volumes.
Organisations must contend with threats from malicious actors, state-backed attacks, human error, and stricter compliance requirements like the EU’s NIS 2 Directive and the UK’s Telecoms (Security) Act. Proactive, holistic strategies, including continual audits and rapid threat reporting, are essential to address emerging and unknown risks.
Automation is a critical solution, enabling organisations to monitor, test, and defend against threats effectively. Over time, AI will enhance these efforts, though adversaries also stand to benefit from its capabilities. The CORTEX platform delivers a cross-domain approach to security, eliminating human error and providing continuous protection and compliance. By addressing existing vulnerabilities and building future-ready defences, CORTEX enables telcos to secure their networks and consumers while preparing for tomorrow’s unknown cybersecurity challenges.
