End-to-end security consulting and testing
The telecom industry has grown significantly in the last decade with advancements in technology. There are strict regulatory compliance requirements imposed by authorities across the world to ensure that security is not compromised. Key stakeholders of the telecom industry – subscribers, service providers and equipment manufacturers have to comply to security requirements.
