Product Overview

What it is...

AI-Driven Firewall Validation

Mobileum’s Automated Signaling Firewall Testing enables telecom operators to proactively validate firewall performance in lab settings before changes go live. Built on the dsTest platform, it simulates real-world threats across SS7, Diameter, GTP, and HTTP/2 protocols — ensuring every upgrade or rule change maintains security effectiveness. With repeatable, automated test cycles, Mobileum eliminates manual risk and accelerates validation across complex signaling environments.

and why it matters...

Validate Firewall Readiness

Every rule update or configuration change can expose critical vulnerabilities. Mobileum helps operators close that risk gap with AI-powered, standards-based testing that replicates sophisticated threat scenarios. By simulating attacks before live traffic is exposed, operators gain assurance that firewalls will perform under pressure—enhancing security, reducing incident response time, and supporting compliance.

Industry Challenges

Key Challenges in Signaling Firewall Validation

1
  • Firewall rule changes and upgrades often introduce silent failures that go unnoticed until they affect live traffic
2
  • Validating across SS7, Diameter, GTP, and HTTP/2 is time-consuming and error-prone without unified test automation
3
  • Pushing untested changes into production can disrupt subscriber services and lead to compliance violations
4
  • Traditional validation approaches are slow, inconsistent, and resource-intensive — delaying time-to-market
Key Product Features

Threat Simulation Across Multiple Telecom Protocols

Simulate a wide array of threat scenarios across key signaling protocols to test firewall resilience before deployment.
  • Protocol Coverage:
    Emulate threats over SS7, Diameter, GTP, and HTTP/2.
  • Attack Scenarios:
    Validate how firewalls handle malformed, spoofed, or unauthorized messages.
  • Dynamic Testing:
    Customize test flows to reflect real-world traffic and adversary tactics.

Automated Lab Test Execution

Use dsTest to automate repeated testing workflows, reducing time and error associated with manual validation.
  • dsTest Integration:
    Trigger signaling scenarios automatically from a single test controller.
  • Regression Testing:
    Rapidly validate rules and configurations after every firewall update.
  • CI/CD Ready:
    Integrate firewall testing into your DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Protocol Fuzzing:
    Expose hidden vulnerabilities in 5G protocols by simulating malicious or unexpected data inputs.

Pass/Fail Criteria and Reporting

Get clear, actionable test outcomes with flexible validation logic and full audit-ready documentation.
  • Custom Rules Validation:
    Set thresholds and pass/fail logic per firewall rule or attack type.
  • Comprehensive Reporting:
    Generate logs, KPIs, and risk flags aligned with test coverage.
  • Change Traceability:
    Track which changes introduced failures and get insights for remediation.

Success Story

250625 mobileum shareable automated signaling FW testing

Firewall Validation Prior to Deployment

The Challenge:

The Tier 1 US operator needed to perform pre-production validation of the changes to ensure that the signaling firewall did not expose any vulnerabilities before deployment. This needed to be an automated process.

The Solution:

dsTest was used to automate testing of signaling firewall changes by emulating SS7, Diameter, and GTP-C traffic with existing libraries. Integrated with TSAR, the solution enabled rapid, scheduled validation of firewall rule changes to ensure continued security and eliminate vulnerabilities.

Key Insights:

  • Faster Deployment: 

    Reduced rollout delays

  • Risk Reduction: 

    Improved network security

  • Efficiency: 

    Time savings through early validation
