Course Details

This three-day training program focuses on providing an in-depth understanding of telecom security issues, particularly in SIGTRAN, SS7, GPRS, and GRX technologies, and attacks against telecom network elements. Attendees are expected to have basic knowledge of telecom and network principles, along with good IT security background and Wireshark skills. The training covers SS7 security, including protocols, architecture, and potential attacks, as well as vulnerabilities in telecom signaling networks, GPRS, and higher-level applications. It also delves into attack scenarios, fraud management systems, lawful interception, and SS7 attack analysis. This program equips engineers with the knowledge to evaluate security problems within telecom signaling environments.

Training Format:

  • Online Delivery: P1 Security courses are designed for seamless online learning. Participants can access pre-recorded lectures and course materials through a secure online platform.
  • Hands-on Practice: Participants will have access to P1 Cyber Range, allowing them to engage in practical exercises for real-world application.
  • Self-Assessment: Each training module is accompanied by self-assessment quizzes, enabling participants to evaluate their understanding and track their progress.
  • Expert Support: A 90-minute "Meet the Expert" session provides participants the opportunity to ask questions directly to P1 experienced instructors.
  • Certification: Upon successful completion of the final exam, participants will receive a certification recognizing their achievement.
