Telecom Network Abuse Detection for Carriers

P7/10April 23, 2026
WhatA real-time monitoring platform that detects unauthorized location queries and SS7/Diameter protocol abuse within telecom networks, alerting carriers to insider threats and surveillance vendor exploitation.
SignalTelecom networks are being systematically exploited by commercial surveillance vendors who abuse legitimate access to track individuals at scale, and carriers currently lack the tooling to detect or prevent this misuse of their own infrastructure.
Why NowCitizen Lab and other researchers are publicly exposing these campaigns, regulatory scrutiny is intensifying globally, and carriers face mounting liability — creating urgent demand for detection capabilities they don't have in-house.
MarketTelecom carriers and MVNOs globally (~800+ operators); TAM $2-4B in telecom security. Competitors like ENEA AdaptiveMobile exist but focus on SMS/signaling firewalls, not insider abuse detection and surveillance vendor identification.
MoatProprietary detection models trained on real abuse patterns across multiple carrier deployments create a compounding data advantage — each new carrier customer improves detection accuracy for all.
