Case Study: a US telco leader strengthens mobile device security with DECODE penetration testing

US Telco Leader tests 10 phone models with DECODE, passing 4

The customer, a US telco leader, faced a significant challenge in ensuring the security of over 100 different mobile device models used across its network. To protect its subscribers from both hardware and software attacks, it engaged DECODE to perform comprehensive penetration testing on these devices.

DECODE conducted a series of rigorous penetration tests on batches of devices, employing methods like man-in-the-middle attacks and hardware short-circuiting. The results helped the client identify vulnerabilities and improve their security posture; only 4 out of the 10 tested models initially passed the security tests. DECODE's findings directly impacted the client's bottom line by guiding their security decisions and mitigating potential risks.
