We already have vulnerability management tools. Why should we add Nipper solutions?

Vulnerability management is best suited to devices with relatively static configurations like servers and endpoints. Highly configurable network devices require the kind of in-depth analysis that Nipper solutions provide to spot misconfigurations and align these to the latest tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers targeting the telecoms sector.

We use policy management for all our applications. Why should we add Nipper solutions?

Policy management solutions check whether network devices are correctly enforcing your policies, but don’t check whether the network devices themselves are secure. If a device has a weak password, all critical communications passing through it would be vulnerable to attackers. Nipper solutions help prevent this.

How does AI change the threat landscape for the telco industry?

AI has yet to create new attack vectors, but it has already transformed the scale and intensity of attacks. APTs use it to find and exploit exposures across flat networks far faster – simultaneously attacking multiple devices that offer access to sensitive data or mission-critical systems.

How do Nipper solutions help with Zero Trust?

Nipper OmniSight confirms whether each device is correctly enforcing your Zero Trust segmentation and least privilege access policies. By combining this with pre-emptive exposure assessment Nipper OmniSight can provide a real-time, adversary-aware picture of whether your networks are resilient to APTs.

Can Nipper solutions help us map the telecoms network infrastructure?

Yes, both Nipper OmniSight (Integrated) and Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can create visual representations of your networks, based on the device configurations stored in a CMDB – invaluable for day-to-day operations as well as telecoms cybersecurity. Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can also populate a CMDB if you don’t already have one.

Telecommunications Industry

Salt Typhoon changed everything for the telecommunications sector. Instead of focusing on disrupting services, this Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) harvested sensitive communications data from the networks it had penetrated – all by targeting misconfigured network devices.

Regulators responded with new requirements, but it is clear substantial risks remain because major network operators often do not have a single view of their network configurations. That can result in unseen exploitable vulnerabilities.

Helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure

“One of the key strengths is its ability to map configuration findings against compliance frameworks and security best practices. The reporting is structured, audit-friendly, and helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure. The risk-based prioritization is particularly valuable, as it allows us to focus remediation efforts on high-impact issues.”
